Why is the conversion factor so small between fluid ounce (UK) and cord?

Because fluid ounce (UK) measures a small liquid volume, while a cord represents a large volume of stacked firewood, resulting in a very small numerical conversion factor.

Can I use this conversion for precise scientific calculations?

No. Due to the different nature of the units and the scale difference, this conversion is better suited for general estimation and comparative purposes.

What are common contexts for converting fluid ounce (UK) to cord?

This conversion is mainly used in forestry, firewood sales, heating management, and interpreting historical or legal documents involving British imperial volume units.
