About these units
Cord (cord)
A stack of firewood 4 ft × 4 ft × 8 ft: 128 cubic feet (3.62 m³).
Firewood and pulpwood in the United States and Canada are sold by the cord, a name thought to come from the string once used to check the size of a pile. A full cord is a neat stack 4 feet high, 4 feet deep and 8 feet long, or 128 cubic feet, about 3.62 cubic meters. Because the figure counts the gaps between logs, a cord holds noticeably less solid wood than its volume suggests.
Sellers often offer a face cord instead, a stack 4 by 8 feet in face area but only as deep as the log length, commonly 16 inches, which makes it about a third of a cord. Names such as rick and face cord vary from place to place, and Measurement Canada recognizes the cord, the stere and the cubic foot as legal sale measures.
Older European cords varied widely. Before 1795 the French corde ranged from roughly 2 to 5 steres by region, and the stere, a cubic meter of stacked wood, was coined that year to replace it. One stere is about 0.276 cord.
1 cord = 3,624.556364 liters (approximately).

US Fluid Ounce (fl oz)
One 128th of a US gallon, 29.5735 mL. Not the same as the weight ounce, and about 4% larger than the imperial fluid ounce.
Fluid ounce began as an attempt to link volume to weight: the volume occupied by one ounce of some substance, such as wine in England or water in Scotland. Definitions varied by region and by liquid. When Britain defined its imperial gallon in 1824 as the space of ten pounds of water, the imperial fluid ounce came out so that an ounce of water weighs about one avoirdupois ounce. The US fluid ounce followed a different path and comes from the older wine gallon.
The US fluid ounce is exactly 1/128 of a US gallon, 29.5735295625 milliliters, about 4 percent bigger than the imperial one at 28.4130625 milliliters. American nutrition labels use yet another figure, treating one fluid ounce as 30 milliliters, a convenient rounding for serving sizes. The name is a trap, because a fluid ounce measures space while a weight ounce measures mass. A US fluid ounce of water weighs a bit more than an ounce of weight, while a fluid ounce of honey weighs considerably more.
1 US fluid ounce = 0.02957352956 liters (approximately).
