What Is This Tool?
This tool converts volumes from acre-foot (US survey), commonly used in water resource management and agriculture, to quart (UK) [qt (UK)], an imperial unit traditionally used in British cooking and liquid measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume in acre-foot (US survey) into the input field
-
Select quart (UK) [qt (UK)] as the target unit
-
Click the convert button to see the result instantly
-
Use the examples as a guide to understand typical conversions
Key Features
-
Accurate volume conversion between acre-foot (US survey) and quart (UK) [qt (UK)]
-
Browser-based and easy to use with no installation required
-
Supports large-scale water volume measurements and traditional British liquid units
-
Provides clear examples for quick reference
Examples
-
2 Acre-feet (US survey) equals approximately 2,170,637.6 Quart (UK)
-
0.5 Acre-foot (US survey) converts to about 542,659.4 Quart (UK)
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring and allocating water stored in reservoirs and dams
-
Converting water quantities for irrigation planning and agricultural water rights
-
Relating large water volumes to traditional British cooking measurements
-
Interpreting historical or legacy beverage container volumes in UK regions
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure you use this tool mainly for informational conversions due to unit size differences
-
Use litres or cubic metres for scientific or engineering volume requirements when possible
-
Double-check large volume conversions given the very large resulting numbers
-
Refer to traditional unit usage contexts for quart (UK) where relevant
Limitations
-
The acre-foot (US survey) is a very large unit compared to the quart (UK), leading to extremely large numbers after conversion
-
Quart (UK) is largely outdated in scientific and engineering fields, having been replaced by litres or cubic metres
-
Conversions serve mostly informational purposes where high precision and operational use are required in water management
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is an acre-foot (US survey)?
-
An acre-foot (US survey) represents the volume of water that covers one acre of land to a depth of one US survey foot, equal to 43,560 cubic US survey feet.
-
What does quart (UK) measure?
-
The quart (UK) is an imperial volume unit equal to one quarter of an imperial gallon, exactly 1.1365225 litres, traditionally used in British liquid volume measurements.
-
Why convert from acre-foot (US survey) to quart (UK)?
-
This conversion helps relate large water volumes commonly used in water management to smaller, traditional British units used in cooking, historical labeling, or legacy contexts.
-
Is quart (UK) commonly used in science today?
-
No, quart (UK) is mostly obsolete in scientific and engineering work, which now generally use litres or cubic metres.
-
Are conversions from acre-foot to quart precise for operational water management?
-
Such conversions are primarily informational since precision requirements in water management often exceed the granularity of quart (UK).
Key Terminology
-
Acre-foot (US survey)
-
A unit of volume equal to the amount of water covering one acre of land to a depth of one US survey foot, used chiefly in water resource management.
-
Quart (UK) [qt (UK)]
-
An imperial unit of volume equal to one quarter of an imperial gallon, traditionally used in the UK for liquid measurement.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The numerical factor used to convert a measurement in one unit to an equivalent measurement in another unit.
