What is a tun used for?

A tun is a traditional English unit used historically to measure large casks of liquids like wine or ale.

What does a stere measure?

A stere is a metric volume unit equal to one cubic metre, mainly used for estimating the volume of stacked materials such as firewood.

Why is the tun to stere conversion important?

It helps convert old liquid volume measurements into modern metric units useful for comparing liquid cargo volumes with bulk storage volumes.

What Is This Tool?

This converter helps transform volume values from tun, an old English unit used for large casks, to stere [st], a metric unit representing one cubic metre, commonly used for stacked wood or bulk materials.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volume value in tun that you want to convert.
Choose tun as the source unit and stere [st] as the target unit.
Initiate the conversion to obtain the equivalent volume in stere [st].

Key Features

Converts from tun, traditionally used for wine or ale cask volumes, to stere [st], a unit measuring volume of stacks.
Applies a precise conversion factor based on recognized volume equivalencies.
Supports volume translation relevant for historical, archival, and industrial applications.

Examples

2 tun converts to approximately 1.9078 stere [st].
5 tun converts to approximately 4.7696 stere [st].

Common Use Cases

Translating historical wine or ale cask volumes into modern metric units.
Archival research and engineering tasks involving old brewery or distillery measurements.
Estimating volumes of stacked firewood or bulk materials for forestry and transport.

Tips & Best Practices

Understand that the tun's size may vary historically and regionally, which can impact results.
Remember stere measures stacked volume including air spaces, so interpret volumes accordingly.
Use this tool for converting volumes relevant in historical trades and bulk material assessments.

Limitations

The tun's exact measurement varies with location and historical definitions, affecting precision.
Stere measures the volume of stacks, not solid content, potentially differing from actual liquid volumes.
Conversions may require interpretation when applying to different material packing densities.
