Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a cord and what is it used for?
-
A cord is a unit of volume specifically for stacked firewood, representing 128 cubic feet. It is commonly used to measure quantities of firewood sold or delivered.
-
What does one cubic centimeter represent?
-
One cubic centimeter is the volume of a cube with 1 cm sides and equals one milliliter. It is widely used for small volumes such as medical doses or engine displacements.
-
Why convert cord volumes to cubic centimeters?
-
Converting cord volumes to cubic centimeters enables precise quantification needed in scientific, industrial, or detailed measurement tasks involving firewood volume.
