What Is This Tool?
This volume unit converter allows you to translate measurements from the UK fluid ounce, a unit in the British imperial system, into the cor, an ancient Biblical Hebrew dry volume unit. The tool is useful for interpreting historical, biblical, or archaeological volume data expressed in different measurement systems.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in fluid ounce (UK) units
-
Select fluid ounce (UK) as the input unit and cor (Biblical) as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent volume in cor (Biblical)
-
Refer to provided examples to understand result applications
Key Features
-
Converts between UK fluid ounce (liquid volume) and cor (Biblical dry volume)
-
Supports volume translation for historical, academic, and interpretative uses
-
Provides clear conversion formulas and examples
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation
Examples
-
10 fluid ounces (UK) equals 0.001291503 cor (Biblical)
-

Common Use Cases
-
Translating traditional British recipes or beverage measures into ancient biblical volumes for study
-
Interpreting quantities in biblical texts and ancient documents involving dry commodities
-
Archaeological reconstruction of historical storage capacities and agricultural production
-
Comparative analysis of measurement systems between ancient and modern contexts
Tips & Best Practices
-
Understand that the cor is a dry volume and fluid ounce (UK) measures liquid volume; this difference should be considered
-
Use the conversion primarily for theoretical or academic contexts rather than practical liquid volume measurement
-
Refer to archaeological or biblical sources when applying conversions to historical data
-
Use the provided conversion rate without attempting manual recalculations to avoid errors
Limitations
-
Direct conversion between liquid and dry volume units may not reflect actual material volumes without density knowledge
-
The cor unit is an approximate measure (around 220 liters), introducing potential rounding issues
-
Conversion relevance is mainly for historical, biblical, or academic study rather than everyday use
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert from a liquid to a dry volume unit?
-
This conversion is typically used for academic or historical contexts where understanding biblical or ancient dry volume measures relative to liquid volume units is needed.
-
Is the cor still used today?
-
The cor is an ancient Biblical unit and is not used in modern everyday volume measurements but remains important in historical and archaeological studies.
-
Can I use this converter for practical cooking measurements?
-
Since the cor is a dry volume unit and fluid ounce (UK) measures liquid volume, this conversion is more suited for historical or academic purposes than practical cooking applications.
