What is a stere used to measure?

A stere measures the volume of stacked wood or bulk materials and equals one cubic metre.

How many cords are in one stere?

One stere is equal to approximately 0.2759 cords.

Where is the cord measurement commonly applied?

Cords are commonly used to quantify stacked firewood volumes for sales, heating needs, and forestry reporting.

Can stacking differences affect conversion accuracy?

Yes, differences in stacking density, wood species, and moisture content can influence practical volume equivalencies.

Use the result for firewood sales, inventory, or heating estimates

Key Features

Converts volume measurements from stere [st] to cord [cd]
Provides easy input and output for firewood and bulk material volumes
Supports typical use cases in forestry, retail, and woodfuel management
Browser-based tool requiring no installation
Includes conversion examples for quick reference

Examples

2 stere = 0.5517916676 cord
5 stere = 1.379479169 cord

Common Use Cases

Selling and invoicing firewood based on stacked volume
Estimating firewood quantities for residential or commercial heating
Managing timber or woodfuel volumes in forestry and wood-processing

Tips & Best Practices

Always verify volume units when buying or selling firewood
Consider variations in stacking density and wood moisture content
Use this tool to bridge metric and imperial volume measurements
Cross-check conversions for accurate inventory and heating estimates

Limitations

The stere is a metric volume based on cubic metres, while the cord uses cubic feet
Stacking method, wood species, and moisture can alter actual volume and weight
Cord approximations rely on a standard stack shape and may vary in practice
Conversions are approximate and should be interpreted with care
