Stere (English spelling)

Japanese: ステール(英語表記)stere
Stere (English spelling)
A unit of volume. Equivalent to 1 m3. A word meaning solid, it has been used in France and other countries as a unit to express the volume of firewood. It was officially recognized as one of the units of the metric system in 1879 and its symbol has been s or st, but it is a unit that is difficult to recommend from the standpoint of the current International System of Units (SI).

Japanese:
体積の単位。1m3に等しい。立体を意味する語で,薪の体積を表すための単位としてフランスなどで用いられてきた。メートル法の単位の一つとして1879年に公認され,記号はs,またはstとされてきたが,現今の国際単位系(SI)の立場からは推奨しがたい単位である。【高田 誠二】
