The stere or stère is a unit of volume in the original metric system equal to one cubic metre. The name was coined from the Greek στερεός ''stereos'', "solid", in 1793 France as a metric analogue to the cord. The stère is typically used for measuring large quantities of firewood or other cut wood, while the cubic meter is used for uncut wood.〔For example:(【引用サイトリンク】Rough guide to calculating timber volumes )〕 It is not part of the modern metric system (SI). In Dutch there's also a ''kuub'', short for ''kubieke meter'' which is similar but different. Whereas a "kuub" is a full cubic metre, as it was traditionally used for wood a stère is a cubic metre pile of woodblocks. Such a stère is a little bit less than a kuub or full cubic metre of wood, because the spaces between the woodblocks are included in a stère while they're not in a kuub. In Finnish, the same unit is known as ''motti'' (from Swedish ''mått'', "measure"). Note that the stère as used in contexts outside the timber industry is not subject to the same ambiguity.〔(Webster 1913 )〕 In particular, stère and kilostère are sometimes used in hydrology, as the kilostere is a slightly larger metric analog of an acre-foot, similar to the relationship of the tonne and (short) ton.〔() 〕 ==See also== * Board foot * Cord * Cubic ton * Forest product * Hoppus foot * List of unusual units of measurement * Petrograd Standard * Units of measurement 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「stere」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
