| Convert from stere to ounce [US, liquid] |
Unit Definition (stere) The stere is a metric unit of volume, equal to one cubic meter or one kiloliter (about 35.3147 cubic feet or 1.307 95 cubic yards). Although it dates from the origin of the metric system in 1798, the stere has never been used as much as the liter. In Europe it is used primarily as a measure for firewood; for this purpose, the stere equals about 0.2795 cord or 2.207 cord feet. The name comes from the Greek stereos, solid. Unit Definition (ounce [US, liquid]) The ounce [US, liquid] is a traditional unit of liquid volume, also called the fluid ounce to avoid confusion with the weight ounce. In the U. S. customary system there are 16 fluid ounces in a pint, so each fluid ounce represents 1.804 687 cubic inches or 29.573 531 milliliters. A U.S. fluid ounce of water weighs just a bit more than one ounce avoirdupois.
