What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms volume values measured in Cor (Biblical), an ancient Hebrew unit for dry commodities, into Ton Register, a maritime volume unit historically used to denote internal ship capacity.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in Cor (Biblical).
-
Select Cor (Biblical) as the input unit and Ton Register [ton reg] as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to see the corresponding measurement in Ton Register.
-
Review the conversion result for further use in historical or maritime contexts.
Key Features
-
Converts Cor (Biblical) units, used for grain and oil, into Ton Register volume units.
-
Utilizes a precise conversion rate connecting an ancient unit with a maritime measurement.
-
Supports historical, archaeological, and maritime research requirements.
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation.
-
Provides quick interpretation of ancient volumes in terms of ship capacity.
Examples
-
5 Cor (Biblical) converts to approximately 0.388 Ton Register [ton reg].
-
10 Cor (Biblical) converts to roughly 0.777 Ton Register [ton reg].
Common Use Cases
-
Interpreting Biblical text quantities for grain, oil, or dry goods in modern volume terms.
-
Reconstructing ancient storage capacities and archaeological findings with modern ship volume measures.
-
Relating historical bulk volume data to ship register tonnage for maritime history studies.
-
Calculating legacy port fees or cargo volumes where old tonnage units apply.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure to apply the conversion only within appropriate historical or maritime contexts.
-
Consider the approximate nature of ancient volume units when interpreting results.
-
Use this tool alongside other historical data sources for comprehensive analysis.
-
Verify the units being converted carefully to avoid errors in interpretation.
-
Keep in mind the limited contemporary use of Ton Register in favor of modern tonnage standards.
Limitations
-
The Cor (Biblical) volume is an ancient approximation with some variability in exact size.
-
Ton Register as a unit has been largely superseded by modern tonnage measures internationally.
-
Conversion outcomes should be used cautiously due to regional and historical differences in measurements.
-
This tool is not meant for precise engineering calculations but for interpretive and comparative purposes.
