What is a ton register used for?

A ton register is a maritime volume unit used historically to measure a ship's internal capacity for regulatory and commercial purposes.

How is the cor (Biblical) defined?

The cor is an ancient Biblical dry volume unit roughly equal to 220 liters, often used to interpret grain and commodity quantities in Hebrew texts.

Can this conversion be used for modern shipping volumes?

No, this tool is designed for historical and archaeological contexts, as modern maritime measures have different standards.

Why is there uncertainty in the conversion?

Both units represent historical measures with varying definitions and estimations, which can cause discrepancies in precise conversions.
