About Hoppus tons
The Hoppus ton (H ton) = 50 Hoppus feet = 50 × (Ο€/4) ft³ ≈ 1.112 m³. The '50' approximated one ton of tropical hardwood by weight (teak/mahogany at 700-900 kg/m³ × 1.112 m³ ≈ 0.9 metric ton). Standard for British colonial timber imports - teak from Burma, iroko from West Africa, meranti from SE Asia. Superseded by m³ after metrication. 1 H ton = 50 H ft ≈ 1.112 m³.
About Cords
The cord is the standard North American firewood/pulpwood unit = 4 ft × 4 ft × 8 ft stacked = 128 ft³ = 3.6246 m³ (exact). NIST Handbook 44 requires all US firewood to be sold in cords or legal fractions. Seasoned split hardwood ≈ 20-24 million BTU/cord; air-dry pine ≈ 15-18 million BTU/cord. 'Face cord' or 'rick' is NOT a legal unit. 1 cord = 128 ft³ = 3.6246 m³ = 8 cord feet.
