What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to transform volume values from kiloliters, a modern liquid volume unit, into the cor, an ancient Biblical dry volume measure. It facilitates the interpretation of historical and archaeological data by bridging modern units with ancient measurement systems.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume in kiloliters you wish to convert.
-
Select kiloliter as the input unit and cor (Biblical) as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to receive the equivalent cor values.
-
Review example conversions for guidance on using results.
-
Utilize the converted data for historical or modern volume comparisons.
Key Features
-
Converts kiloliter values to the Biblical cor based on a defined conversion rate.
-
Provides support for scholarly and archaeological volume analyses.
-
Simple input and output interface for quick volume translation.
-
Browser-based with no installation required.
-
Displays examples to illustrate the conversion process.
Examples
-
Convert 2 kiloliters to cor: 2 kL × 4.5454545455 = 9.0909 cor (Biblical).
-
Convert 0.5 kiloliters to cor: 0.5 kL × 4.5454545455 = 2.2727 cor (Biblical).
Common Use Cases
-
Interpreting quantities of grain, oil, or other commodities recorded in biblical texts.
-
Reconstructing ancient storage sizes and agricultural output in archaeology.
-
Comparing ancient measurement systems with modern volumetric standards.
-
Translating modern liquid volume figures into historical units for research.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Consider the difference between dry volume (cor) and liquid volume (kiloliter) in applications.
-
Use the conversion as an approximate guide due to historical uncertainties.
-
Apply results in context with archaeological or biblical research objectives.
-
Refer to examples to verify conversion calculations.
-
Account for potential regional variations in ancient measurement units.
Limitations
-
The cor is an estimated measurement and may vary slightly.
-
Kiloliter measures liquids, while cor traditionally denotes dry volume.
-
Direct volume comparisons may be affected by material properties and context.
-
Historical units like the cor may have inconsistencies or regional differences.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a kiloliter?
-
A kiloliter is a volume unit equal to 1,000 liters, exactly one cubic meter, used for expressing large liquid volumes in everyday and engineering contexts.
-
What does the Biblical cor measure?
-
The cor is an ancient Biblical Hebrew dry volume unit estimated at about 220 liters, commonly used to quantify grain and other commodities in historical texts.
-
Can I use this tool for exact scientific conversions?
-
No, this tool provides approximate conversions suitable for scholarly interpretation and historical study, not for precise scientific measurements.
Key Terminology
-
Kiloliter (kL)
-
A unit of liquid volume equal to 1,000 liters or one cubic meter, commonly used in engineering and everyday measurements.
-
Cor (Biblical)
-
An ancient Biblical Hebrew dry volume unit roughly equivalent to 220 liters, used historically to measure commodities like grain.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The numerical factor defining how many cor units correspond to one kiloliter, used to perform volume conversions.
