What is a cord used to measure?

A cord measures volume specifically for stacked firewood, traditionally defined as 128 cubic feet.

What does the UK gill represent?

The UK gill is an imperial liquid volume equal to one quarter of an imperial pint, used mainly in historical British contexts.

Can I use this conversion for everyday liquid or wood measurements?

No, this conversion is mostly theoretical or for historical and specialized archival purposes due to differing measurement types and large scale differences.

How to Convert from Cord [cd] to Gill (UK) [gi (UK)]?

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms volume measurements from cords, a unit for stacked firewood, to UK gills, an imperial unit used for small liquid quantities. It helps bridge the gap between solid wood volume and traditional British liquid measurements for historical, archival, and specialized conversion needs.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volume value in cords (cd) you want to convert.
Select cord as the input unit and UK gill (gi (UK)) as the output unit.
Click the convert button to get the equivalent volume in UK gills.
Review the converted result for use in your historical or conversion context.

Key Features

Converts cord volumes (firewood measurement) to UK gill (imperial liquid unit).
Supports understanding of volume relationships between solid and liquid measures.
Useful for historical research, forestry, and antique documentation.
Browser-based and easy to use without any software installation.

Examples

2 Cords = 2 × 25513.310040239 = 51026.620080478 Gill (UK)
0.5 Cord = 0.5 × 25513.310040239 = 12756.65502012 Gill (UK)

Common Use Cases

Measuring firewood sold or delivered by retailers and consumers.
Estimating household or facility wood-fuel needs for heating purposes.
Converting stacked wood volumes to traditional British liquid units for archival or historical analysis.
Supporting restoration of antique vessels and documentation involving old imperial liquid measures.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this tool for theoretical or archival volume translation rather than practical liquid-to-solid conversions.
Understand the fundamental difference between solid volume (cord) and liquid volume (gill) before applying results.
Leverage historical context when interpreting conversions involving UK gills.
Confirm units carefully when working with mixed measurement systems.

Limitations

Conversion compares solid wood volume to liquid volume, so it is mainly theoretical or for specialized use.
Significant scale difference limits practical physical application of these conversions.
The UK gill is not a modern SI unit and is largely obsolete outside historical or niche settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick Knowledge Check

What type of volume does a cord measure?

Liquid volume

Stacked wood volume

Gas volume

The UK gill is approximately equal to what?

One quarter of an imperial pint

One full imperial pint

One liter

Why is converting cords to UK gills mainly theoretical?

Because both measure the same substance

Because one measures solid volume and the other liquid volume

Because units are part of the SI system
