About these units
Dekastere (dekastere)
The dekastere, equal to 10 steres or 10 cubic meters, is primarily used in forestry for measuring stacked firewood or lumber. In European countries like France, where the stere is still recognized, the dekastere is practical for describing commercial quantities of timber. Many forestry management plans and commercial firewood suppliers use the dekastere to track production and sales. Its size strikes a balance between comprehensibility and practicality, making it useful for both commercial and personal-scale timber transactions.
CCF (ccf)
The abbreviation CCF stands for centum cubic feet, meaning 100 cubic feet. It is widely used by water and natural gas utilities to measure residential and industrial consumption. Water bills in many US cities list usage in CCF, balancing numerical convenience with practical scale. For example, a household may consume 5–12 CCF per month, depending on climate and household size. Because natural gas companies also use CCF, the unit plays a central role in energy billing, conservation programs, and environmental reporting. It is a key bridge between technical engineering measurements and everyday consumer usage.
