A decistere is a volume unit equal to one tenth of a stere, or 0.1 cubic metre, mainly used historically for timber and firewood measurements.

Is the UK cup an official unit of measurement?

No, the UK cup is not an official Imperial or SI unit and its exact volume is not standardized, but it is commonly treated as equivalent to 250 millilitres.

Why convert between decistere and UK cup?

Conversion is useful to translate large forestry volumes into smaller culinary units for recipe adaptation and informal measuring.
