Why convert from gallon (UK) to cord?

Converting from gallon (UK) to cord helps translate liquid volume measures into solid wood volumes, useful in forestry, heating, and fuel management contexts.

Is the gallon (UK) the same as the US gallon?

No, the gallon (UK) is defined as exactly 4.54609 litres, which is approximately 1.20095 US gallons, making it larger than the US gallon.

Can I use this conversion for exact volume equivalence?

No, the conversion is approximate because a gallon (UK) measures liquid volume, while a cord measures stacked solid volume with air gaps; density and stacking variations affect accuracy.
