Discover seamless conversion from tuns to steres with the Tun to Stere Converter, engineered by Newtum. Get curious about the simplicity and precision of our tool.
A Tun, often spelled 'ton', is a large cask or barrel historically used to store and measure wine or other commodities. It has a capacity that varies by country and commodity, but it usually represents a volume of approximately 252 wine gallons, which is about 954 liters. The tun was an important measure in the medieval English system and was used as a benchmark for trade and taxation.
Definition of StereA Stere is a unit of volume in the metric system that is not commonly used today. One stere is equivalent to one cubic meter. The term originates from the Greek word 'stereos', meaning solid. Historically, the stere was used to measure firewood and other bulk commodities, and it is sometimes still used in this context in some European countries.
| Tun (t) | Stere (m³) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 t | 0.381 m³ |
| 0.5 t | 1.907 m³ |
| 1 t | 3.815 m³ |
| 2 t | 7.631 m³ |
| 3 t | 11.446 m³ |
| 4 t | 15.262 m³ |
| 5 t | 19.077 m³ |
| 10 t | 38.155 m³ |
| 20 t | 76.310 m³ |
| 50 t | 190.775 m³ |
1 tun = 3.815 m³
1 m³ = 0.2625 tuns
Example 1:
convert 2 tuns to steres:
2 tuns = 2 × 3.815 m³ = 7.631 m³
Example 2:
convert 5 tuns to steres:
5 tuns = 5 × 3.815 m³ = 19.077 m³
The Tun to Stere Converter traces its roots to historical trade and measurement systems. Tuns were used in medieval commerce to measure large quantities, while steres were used in measuring firewood volumes. The conversion between these two units symbolizes the evolution of measurement systems from traditional to modern metric standards.
Uncover the real-world significance of converting tuns to steres and how this tool brings efficiency to various sectors.
Example 1:
To convert 10 tuns to steres, multiply by 3.815:
10 tuns × 3.815 m³/tun = 38.15 m³.
Example 2:
To convert 25 tuns to steres, multiply by 3.815:
25 tuns × 3.815 m³/tun = 95.38 m³.
