What is a ton register (ton reg)?

A ton register is a maritime volume unit equal to 100 cubic feet, historically used to express ship internal capacity as gross or net register tonnage.

A decistere is a unit of volume equal to one tenth of a stere (0.1 cubic metre), used mainly in timber and firewood volume measurement.

Why convert from ton register to decistere?

Converting from ton register to decistere helps translate maritime volume measurements into timber-related units for forestry, fuelwood trade, or historical analysis.

0.5 Ton register [ton reg] converts to 14.158423296 Decistere.

Common Use Cases

Interpreting historical ship volume data and converting it for timber volume comparisons.
Calculating volumes in fuelwood or forestry transactions using historic and metric units.
Translating older maritime capacity measures into timber-related volume units.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this converter primarily in historical or archival maritime contexts where ton register applies.
Cross-check converted volume results with timber or firewood measurement standards when applicable.
Be aware that decistere is rarely used outside specialized forestry or fuelwood settings.

Limitations

The ton register unit is largely outdated and mainly applicable for historical maritime records.
Decistere is an obsolete unit with limited practical usage beyond certain timber-related fields.
Conversion only addresses volume and does not translate to weight or other measurements without further data.
