What is a Ton Register?

A Ton Register is a historical maritime volume unit equal to 100 cubic feet, used to express a ship's internal volume for gross or net register tonnage.

What does a Dekastere measure?

A Dekastere is a non-SI metric volume unit equal to ten steres, where one stere represents one cubic metre, so it corresponds to 10 cubic metres.

Why convert Ton Register to Dekastere?

Conversion helps translate historical maritime volume data into metric units useful for forestry, timber trade, and bulk cargo volume estimations.

Is Ton Register still used today?

Ton Register is largely replaced by modern tonnage measures since the 1969 Tonnage Convention but remains relevant for historical and archival maritime data.

Can I use this converter for weight measurements?

No, both Ton Register and Dekastere measure volume, not weight, so this tool is only for volume conversions.

What Is This Tool?

This converter facilitates the translation of volume measurements from the Ton Register, a historical maritime unit, to the Dekastere, a non-SI metric volume unit. It helps users understand and convert between these distinct units relevant in shipping, forestry, and bulk cargo industries.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volume value in Ton Register units.
Select Ton Register as the source unit and Dekastere as the target unit.
Click convert to view the equivalent volume in Dekastere.
Use the result to interpret maritime volumes in metric terms or for forestry and cargo estimations.

Key Features

Converts Ton Register (ton reg), a maritime volume unit, into Dekastere units.
Applies a precise, established conversion factor for accurate results.
Useful for historical ship capacity data and modern metric volume comparisons.
Supports volume unit conversions relevant to forestry, timber, and bulk cargo.
Browser-based and easy to use with clear input and output steps.

Examples

5 Ton Register converts to approximately 1.4158 Dekastere.
10 Ton Register converts to roughly 2.8317 Dekastere.
Multiply any Ton Register value by 0.2831684659 to get the volume in Dekastere.

Common Use Cases

Translating historical ship internal volumes from register tons to metric units.
Estimating bulk cargo or storage volumes where older maritime units are referenced.
Calculating wood and timber volumes in forestry industries using metric-based but non-SI units.
Comparing legacy ship designs or archival maritime data with modern volumetric standards.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure accurate input figures for seamless conversion results.
Use the tool primarily when handling older maritime volume records or timber volume calculations.
Be aware that ton register values represent internal ship volume, not weight.
Cross-reference conversions when precision is critical, especially for official or regulatory purposes.
Understand the contextual use of non-SI units like dekastere in forestry-related volume measurements.

Limitations

Ton Register is a historical measure and may not reflect current international tonnage standards.
Dekastere is less common outside specialized forestry or timber contexts.
The conversion does not account for weight or mass, only volume.
Conversions may not perfectly align with modern maritime regulations.
