What does one stere represent?

One stere equals one cubic meter and is used to measure the volume of stacked wood or bulk materials.

What is an acre-foot used for?

An acre-foot quantifies large water volumes, such as water supply, reservoir storage, and irrigation allocations.

Can I directly compare stere and acre-foot volumes?

Since stere measures stacked volumes with air gaps and acre-foot measures water volume, direct comparisons should consider material differences.

How to Convert from Stere [st] to Acre-foot [ac*ft]?

What Is This Tool?

This converter helps transform volume measurements from stere, a metric measure primarily for stacked wood or bulk materials, into acre-foot, a customary unit used to quantify large water volumes such as reservoirs and irrigation supplies.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volume value in stere (st).
Select stere as the input unit and acre-foot as the output unit.
Click convert to obtain the volume in acre-foot.

Key Features

Converts volume from stere (1 cubic meter) to acre-foot (water volume unit).
Helps relate wood or bulk material volumes to water volume measurements.
Useful in forestry, water management, agriculture, and municipal water accounting.

Examples

10 stere equals 0.008107132 acre-foot.
500 stere equals 0.4053566 acre-foot.

Common Use Cases

Selling and invoicing firewood by volume of stacked wood.
Reporting reservoir and lake storage volumes in water management.
Allocating irrigation water for agricultural planning.
Estimating transport volumes of bulk materials or wood stacks.

Tips & Best Practices

Remember that stere measures stacked volume including air gaps while acre-foot measures continuous water volume.
Use conversion mainly for interdisciplinary contexts involving water and wood volume comparisons.
Consider the physical state of materials when interpreting conversion results.

Limitations

Stere includes air spaces so may not represent solid volume accurately compared to acre-foot.
Acre-foot is primarily intended for water volumes; converting wood volume to acre-foot has limited application.
Rounding can affect precision especially for large-scale volume estimates.
