Describing parcel sizes in U.S. property deeds and boundary records
-
Integrating U.S. survey land data with engineering specifications involving circular inches
-
Calculating cross-sectional areas of round electrical conductors or mechanical shafts from land measurements
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm unit definitions are consistent before converting to avoid discrepancies
-
Use this tool when precise integration of land and engineering area units is needed
-
Be aware of the slight difference between U.S. survey acre and international acre in conversions
Limitations
-
The U.S. survey acre slightly differs from the international acre, which can affect exact calculations
-
Circular inch is a specialized unit mainly used in electrical and mechanical engineering fields
-
Conversion relies on exact unit definitions; small variations or rounding may influence extreme precision
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is an acre (US survey)?
-
It is an area unit defined as exactly 43,560 square U.S. survey feet used primarily in U.S. land surveying and legal property descriptions.
-
Why convert acres to circular inches?
-
This conversion is useful for expressing large land areas in terms of cross-sectional units common in engineering, such as for cables and pipes.
-
Is the U.S. survey acre the same as the international acre?
-
No, the U.S. survey acre is slightly larger due to its definition using the U.S. survey foot.
Key Terminology
-
Acre (US survey)
-
