What Is This Tool?
This tool converts volume measurements from the ancient Hebrew unit hin (Biblical), traditionally used for liquids like oil and wine, into ccf (hundred cubic feet), a common unit for water and gas utilities. It helps bridge historical measurements with contemporary volume units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the quantity of hin (Biblical) you want to convert
-
Select hin (Biblical) as the source unit and ccf as the target unit
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent volume in ccf
-
Review results and use them for academic analysis, billing, or comparisons
Key Features
-
Converts biblical liquid volume from hin to modern ccf units
-
Uses a defined conversion rate based on established approximate volume values
-
Supports academic, archaeological, and utility-related volume conversions
-
Provides straightforward, browser-based interface for ease of use
Examples
-
5 Hin (Biblical) converts to approximately 0.0064743555 Ccf
-
10 Hin (Biblical) converts to approximately 0.012948711 Ccf
Common Use Cases
-
Interpreting and converting biblical volumes of oil or wine for research
-
Translating ancient measurements into units used by water and gas utilities
-
Supporting academic studies in biblical, archaeological, or ancient Near Eastern contexts
-
Facilitating comparisons between historical unit volumes and modern utility consumption
Tips & Best Practices
-
Understand that the hin (Biblical) is an estimated volume, so conversions have some uncertainty
-
Use this tool primarily for academic or specialized utility contexts rather than everyday practical measurements
-
Cross-check regional variations in hin definitions if exact precision is required
-
Apply the conversion formula consistently for reliable comparative analyses
Limitations
-
Hin volume is approximate (~0.57 liters), so precise conversion to ccf may vary
-
Ccf is a much larger unit, resulting in very small converted values from hin
-
Regional differences in hin definitions could lead to slight accuracy variations
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a hin (Biblical)?
-
A hin is an ancient Hebrew unit of liquid volume used primarily for measuring oils and wines, roughly equivalent to 0.5–0.6 liters.
-
What does ccf stand for?
-
Ccf means hundred cubic feet, a modern volume unit often used for measuring water and natural gas consumption.
-
Why convert hin to ccf?
-
Converting hin to ccf helps translate historical volumes into contemporary units used by utilities, aiding in academic research or utility data interpretation.
