About these units
Ton Register (ton reg)
A register ton, or ton register, is a unit of volume, not mass, equal to 100 cubic feet. It is used in maritime contexts to measure the internal capacity of ships—specifically cargo-carrying volume, not weight. Ship registries rely on register tons to calculate taxes, port fees, and cargo classifications. The unit dates back to 19th-century maritime law, where consistent volumetric measurement was critical for international shipping regulation. Despite changes in global trade and containerization, register tons remain important for historical vessel documentation, as well as for understanding older merchant and naval ship specifications.
Decistere (decistere)
A decistere equals 0.1 stere, or 0.1 cubic meters, commonly used when selling smaller amounts of firewood or measuring smaller timber volumes. Homeowners purchasing wood for fireplaces or stoves may find the decistere a more appropriate unit than the stere, because it matches typical household needs. Though not an SI unit, the decistere fits comfortably within the metric system, demonstrating how hybrid traditional-metric units survive in niche contexts.
