What Is This Tool?
This volume converter transforms values from cubic centimeters (cc, cm³)—a small-scale unit commonly used in medical and laboratory settings—into acre-feet (ac*ft), a large-scale water volume unit frequently applied in environmental and agricultural water resource management.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume amount in cubic centimeters (cc or cm³) into the input field
-
Select the target unit as acre-foot (ac*ft) from the conversion options
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent volume in acre-feet
-
Use the results to support water resource management, irrigation planning, or environmental assessments
Key Features
-
Converts volume values between cc (cm³) and acre-foot (ac*ft)
-
Supports applications in both small-scale measurements and large-scale water volume assessments
-
Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick conversions
-
Applicable in fields including hydrology, agriculture, municipal water planning, and laboratory contexts
Examples
-
1,000,000 cc converts to 0.0008107 acre-foot
-
5,000,000 cc converts to 0.004054 acre-foot
Common Use Cases
-
Translating precise small-volume measurements into large-scale water volume units for environmental analysis
-
Reporting reservoir and lake storage capacities using acre-feet
-
Allocating irrigation water in agricultural planning
-
Expressing municipal or regional annual water supply volumes
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure consistent units when entering values to avoid errors
-
Use the tool to assist with water management planning and reporting
-
Be aware of the scale difference between cc and acre-foot to interpret results carefully
-
Consider the customary use of acre-foot mainly within the United States when applying results internationally
Limitations
-
Cc is suited for small volumes, while acre-foot measures very large volumes, leading to very small decimal results in conversion
-
Acre-foot is primarily a U.S. customary unit and may be unfamiliar or unused in other regions
-
Conversion reflects pure volume equivalency and does not adjust for fluid density or temperature influences
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 cc equal in volume?
-
1 cubic centimeter (cc or cm³) equals the volume of a cube measuring 1 centimeter on each side and is exactly equal to 1 milliliter.
-
Where is acre-foot commonly used?
-
The acre-foot is a customary volume unit mainly used in the United States for measuring large water quantities such as reservoir storage and irrigation water allocation.
-
Can I use this conversion for fluids with different densities?
-
This conversion assumes pure volume equivalency and does not account for variations in fluid density or temperature effects.
Key Terminology
-
Cc [cc, cm³]
-
A unit of volume equal to a cube with 1-centimeter sides; exactly equal to 1 milliliter.
-
Acre-foot [ac*ft]
-
A customary volume unit representing the volume of water covering one acre to a depth of one foot, equal to 43,560 cubic feet.
