What exactly is a cord used for?

A cord is a unit of volume primarily used to measure stacked firewood, defined as 128 cubic feet, commonly arranged in a 4 ft × 4 ft × 8 ft stack.

How is a US pint defined?

The US pint is a customary unit of liquid volume equal to 1/8 of a US gallon, or exactly 473.176473 milliliters. It is used for measuring liquids like beverages and in culinary recipes.

Why would I convert cord to US pints?

Converting from cords to US pints helps compare solid firewood volume to liquid volume, which can be useful for inventory, estimation of heating fuel equivalents, or combined reporting alongside liquid fuel volumes.

What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to change volume measurements from cords, a unit used for stacked firewood, to US pints, a standard liquid volume measurement. It is useful for translating solid wood volume into liquid volume equivalents in various professional and consumer contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the quantity in cords (cd) that you want to convert
Select US pints (pt US) as the target unit for volume
Click the convert button to see the equivalent volume in US pints
Use the results for estimating firewood volume in liquid terms or for related calculations

Key Features

Converts stacked firewood volume in cords to US liquid pints
Supports forestry, heating, and retail firewood applications
Browser-based and easy to use with straightforward input fields
Provides conversions suitable for comparing solid and liquid volume units
Includes example conversions for quick reference

Examples

2 cords [cd] equal approximately 15,320.10 US pints [pt (US)]
0.5 cord [cd] converts to about 3,830.03 US pints [pt (US)]

Common Use Cases

Measuring firewood quantities sold or delivered by retailers
Estimating wood fuel requirements for household or facility heating
Reporting timber or firewood volumes in forestry and woodlot management
Expressing firewood volume in smaller liquid units for comparison
Supporting cross-measurement conversions between solid wood and liquid volumes

Tips & Best Practices

Confirm the cord definition used matches standard sizes for accuracy
Use conversions primarily for estimation or specialized applications
Be aware that liquid volume equivalents do not account for wood density or moisture
Cross-verify with other measurements when precise fuel content is needed

Limitations

Conversion assumes equivalent volume but units measure different states: solid (cord) vs liquid (pint US)
Does not consider wood density, moisture content, or packing variations
May have varying precision based on local cord stack size definitions
Limited practical application outside specialized forestry or heating contexts
