Stere quick reference
| Stere | Cubic meter | Board foot | Cubic foot |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 st | = 1 m³ | ≈ 423.7760007 FBM | ≈ 35.31466672 ft³ |
| 10 st | = 10 m³ | ≈ 4237.760007 FBM | ≈ 353.1466672 ft³ |
| 100 st | = 100 m³ | ≈ 42377.60007 FBM | ≈ 3531.466672 ft³ |
| 1000 st | = 1000 m³ | ≈ 423776.0007 FBM | ≈ 35314.66672 ft³ |
Where the stere fits
The next smaller lumber volume unit is the cord foot (cd ft). 1 st ≈ 2.20716667 cd ft, and 1 cd ft = 0.453069545472 st.
The next larger lumber volume unit is the thousand board feet (MBF). 1 st ≈ 0.4237760007 MBF, and 1 MBF = 2.359737216 st.
