What is a cord used to measure?

A cord is a unit of volume mainly used for stacked firewood, representing 128 cubic feet or about 3.62 cubic metres.

What does the stere unit represent?

A stere is a metric volume unit equal to one cubic metre, typically describing the volume of stacked wood or other bulk materials.

Why convert from cord to stere?

Converting helps in using a metric unit better suited for international trade, standardized reporting, and forestry management.

Key Features

Converts volume from cord [cd] to stere [st]
Supports measurements commonly used in forestry and firewood retail
Provides easy-to-understand examples for quick reference
Helps standardize volume reporting between imperial and metric units
Browser-based and simple user interface

Examples

2 cords [cd] is equal to 7.2491 stere [st]
0.5 cord [cd] equals approximately 1.8123 stere [st]

Common Use Cases

Measuring quantities of firewood for sale or delivery
Estimating wood-fuel demand for heating in households or facilities
Reporting timber or firewood volumes in forestry and woodlot management
Invoicing firewood sales using metric volume units
Managing transport and storage of stacked bulk materials

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure accurate input of the volume in cords for correct conversion
Understand that stacked volume includes air space which affects measurements
Use conversions as approximate equivalents, not exact measures of solid wood
Account for variations in stacking method and wood type when comparing volumes
Utilize this tool to facilitate consistent communication in international trade

Limitations

Cord measurements include air gaps which may cause volume differences
Stacking methods and wood shape variations affect volume density
Conversions provide approximate equivalences rather than definitive wood amounts
The stere represents a pure metric volume of the stack, not solid wood only
