What are CubicFoot and Cord

A cubic foot, symbolized as ft³, is a unit of volume in the imperial and U.S. customary measurement systems. It represents the volume of a cube with sides of one foot (0.3048 meters) in length. This unit is commonly used in the United States and the United Kingdom for measuring the volume of materials, such as wood and freight containers, as well as for gauging the capacity of refrigerators, microwaves, and shipping boxes.

A cord is a unit of measure of dry volume used in Canada and the United States to quantify firewood and pulpwood. It is traditionally defined as the amount of wood that is neatly stacked in a space equal to 8 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 4 feet high. This corresponds to 128 cubic feet (3.62 cubic meters). The cord is a legally established measure in several states and is widely used for trading wood products.
