About these units
Board Foot (board foot)
A board foot is a unit of volume used in lumber, defined as a board measuring 1 foot long × 1 foot wide × 1 inch thick, equal to 144 cubic inches, or about 2.36 liters. The unit reflects a material-centric approach to volume: rather than measuring empty space, the board foot measures solid wood content, crucial for pricing logs, boards, and woodworking materials. Forestry operations, sawmills, and lumber yards rely heavily on board-feet calculations to estimate yields from logs, determine pricing, and evaluate timber resources. The unit persists due to deep integration with North American construction and carpentry practices.
Fluid Ounce (US) (fl oz (US))
A US fluid ounce is approximately 29.5735 milliliters. It is not a unit of weight, despite sometimes being confused with the avoirdupois ounce. In beverage serving sizes, cooking, and pharmaceuticals, the fluid ounce provides a flexible unit for small to medium volumes. It serves as the basis for bartending measurements, packaging labels, and nutritional information. Its precise value derives from the US gallon, making the fluid ounce a key link in the US customary volume system.
