Why convert from a solid volume to a liquid volume unit?

Conversions between cord and minim (UK) are mainly for theoretical or archival research purposes, such as comparing historic forestry data with old pharmaceutical volumes.

Is the minim (UK) unit still used today?

No, the minim (UK) is a historic apothecaries' unit and is rarely used in modern applications; it is important mostly in historical or archival contexts.

How is a cord defined?

A cord is a volume unit for stacked firewood defined as 128 cubic feet, often represented by a stack measuring 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 feet.

Tips & Best Practices

Understand that cord is a solid volume measurement while minim (UK) is liquid, so conversions are mainly theoretical
Use this tool primarily for historical, archival, or research purposes
Double-check results when working with large numeric values due to possible rounding
Refer to unit definitions for context when comparing measurements
Apply conversions carefully when reconciling different measurement systems

Limitations

Cord measures solid volume and minim (UK) is liquid volume, making direct practical conversions uncommon
The minim (UK) is a historic unit rarely used in current applications
Large output numbers could lead to rounding issues in calculations
