About these units
Cord (cd)
The cord is a large unit used in North America to measure firewood, defined as a neatly stacked pile measuring 128 cubic feet (usually arranged as 4 ft × 4 ft × 8 ft). Its strict definition helps prevent fraud in firewood sales and ensures fairness in trade. The cord accounts for both wood and air space, though the amount of actual wood can vary depending on how tightly it is stacked. Despite the prevalence of metric units worldwide, the cord remains a robust standard in forestry, firewood commerce, and rural heating practices across the US and Canada.
Cubic Foot (ft³)
A cubic foot equals 28.31684659 liters, representing the volume of a cube one foot on each side. It is widely used in construction, real estate, natural gas metering, and HVAC systems. Room ventilation rates, airflow in ducts, and gas consumption often use cubic feet or cubic feet per minute (CFM). Storage capacity for freezers, shipping containers, and building materials also frequently uses this unit. The cubic foot's relationship to the foot makes it practical in industries where imperial length units still dominate.
