What Is This Tool?
This volume conversion tool helps translate measurements from acre-foot (US survey), a unit used for large-scale water volume management, into ccf, commonly used by utilities for water and natural gas billing.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume in acre-foot (US survey) that you wish to convert.
-
Select 'acre-foot (US survey)' as the input unit and 'ccf' as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to get the volume in ccf.
Key Features
-
Converts acre-foot (US survey) to ccf with a precise conversion rate.
-
Useful for water resource managers, farmers, and utility professionals.
-
Browser-based and easy to use without requiring special software.
Examples
-
Convert 2 acre-foot (US survey) which equals 871.205 ccf approximately.
-
Convert 0.5 acre-foot (US survey) resulting in about 217.801 ccf.
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring and managing water stored in reservoirs and dams.
-
Allocating irrigation water and managing agricultural water rights.
-
Planning municipal water supply and estimating annual consumption.
-
Utility water and natural gas billing and meter reading.
-
Estimating pipeline or service-line flow volumes.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure consistent temperature and pressure conditions when measuring volumes.
-
Use this conversion tool for planning and reporting purposes in water management.
-
Be aware of slight differences due to unit definitions when precision is critical.
Limitations
-
Small differences may occur because acre-foot uses US survey feet while ccf uses standard cubic feet.
-
Measurement accuracy depends on meters and conditions in real-world applications.
-
Conversion assumes stable temperature and pressure conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one acre-foot (US survey) represent?
-
It represents the volume of water covering one acre to a depth of one US survey foot, equal to 43,560 cubic US survey feet.
-
What is a ccf used for?
-
A ccf, or hundred cubic feet, is commonly used by utilities for measuring water and natural gas volumes for billing.
-
Why might conversion results vary slightly?
-
Because acre-foot and ccf use different definitions of feet and measurement conditions may affect precision.
