What Is This Tool?
This tool enables you to convert volumes measured in hundred-cubic foot, typically used for natural gas, into cor (Biblical), an ancient dry volume unit from Hebrew tradition. It serves researchers, engineers, and scholars needing to bridge modern gas volumes and historic units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in hundred-cubic foot you wish to convert
-
Select 'hundred-cubic foot' as the input unit and 'cor (Biblical)' as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to get the corresponding volume in cor (Biblical)
-
Use the result for interpretation or comparison of volumes across different measurement systems
Key Features
-
Converts between a modern gas volume unit and an ancient Biblical dry volume measure
-
Includes specific conversion rate between hundred-cubic foot and cor (Biblical)
-
Supports use cases in engineering, archaeology, and Biblical studies
-
Offers quick calculations based on established formulas
-
Browser-based and user-friendly interface
Examples
-
1 Hundred-cubic foot equals approximately 12.8713 Cor (Biblical)
-
5 Hundred-cubic feet convert to about 64.3565 Cor (Biblical)
Common Use Cases
-
Natural gas utility billing and meter readings using hundred-cubic foot measurements
-
Engineering tasks involving sizing and specifying gas flow or storage volumes
-
Historical and archaeological analysis of Biblical volumes and ancient storage capacities
-
Comparative studies of ancient and modern volume measurement systems
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify the nature of the substance since hundred-cubic foot applies mostly to gases, while cor measures dry volumes
-
Consider the approximate nature of the cor due to historical variability
-
Use the tool for educational, comparative, or interpretative purposes rather than precise scientific calculations
-
Combine with additional historical research when working on archaeological or Biblical analyses
Limitations
-
Cor (Biblical) is an approximate historical measurement with variation across sources
-
Conversion assumes approximate equivalence despite different volume contexts (gas vs. dry goods)
-
Differences in cultural and temporal measurement standards can affect accuracy
-
Not intended for precise engineering calculations requiring exact volume values
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a hundred-cubic foot?
-
A hundred-cubic foot is a volume unit equal to 100 cubic feet, commonly used to measure natural gas volumes in engineering and utility contexts.
-
What does cor (Biblical) represent?
-
The cor is an ancient Biblical Hebrew dry volume unit equal to 10 ephahs, often estimated around 220 liters, used historically to measure grains and other commodities.
-
Can I use this conversion for exact scientific measurements?
-
No, the conversion is approximate due to differences in measurement contexts and the historical variability of the cor unit.
Key Terminology
