About these units
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.
Cubic Foot (ft³)
A cubic foot equals 28.31684659 liters, representing the volume of a cube one foot on each side. It is widely used in construction, real estate, natural gas metering, and HVAC systems. Room ventilation rates, airflow in ducts, and gas consumption often use cubic feet or cubic feet per minute (CFM). Storage capacity for freezers, shipping containers, and building materials also frequently uses this unit. The cubic foot's relationship to the foot makes it practical in industries where imperial length units still dominate.
