What is an acre-inch used for?

An acre-inch measures the volume covering one acre to a depth of one inch and is commonly applied in irrigation planning and water allocation in agriculture.

Why is ton register considered a historical unit?

Ton register was historically used to express a ship's internal volume but has mostly been replaced by newer tonnage methods defined in modern conventions.

Can this tool be used for current maritime shipping calculations?

This tool is primarily for converting to a legacy volume unit and may not suit contemporary shipping measurements that use updated tonnage standards.
