What are Cord and Acre-foot

A cord is a unit of measure for wood volume, commonly used in forestry and logging. It represents a well-stacked woodpile measuring 4 feet high, 4 feet wide, and 8 feet long, totaling 128 cubic feet. This traditional unit helps accurately quantify firewood or pulpwood in the United States and Canada.

An acre-foot is a volume measurement used primarily in the United States for large-scale water resources. It represents the volume of water required to cover one acre of land to a depth of one foot, equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet or about 325,851 gallons. This unit is crucial for managing water distribution in irrigation and urban planning.

History of Cord and Acre-foot

The Cord to Acre-foot Converter has roots in the forestry and agricultural industries, where precise volume measurements are crucial for resource management. Its development reflects the need to translate traditional wood volume units into water resource equivalents for diverse applications such as irrigation planning and reservoir capacity estimation.

Solved Examples cd to ac ft

Example 1:
If you have 3 cords of wood, the conversion to acre-feet would be:
3 cd = 3 × 0.025 ac ft = 0.075 ac ft

Example 2:
For 10 cords of wood, the conversion to acre-feet would be:
10 cd = 10 × 0.025 ac ft = 0.25 ac ft
