What is a metric cup?

A metric cup is a volume unit defined as exactly 250 millilitres, commonly used in cooking and nutrition.

What does ton register measure?

Ton register is a maritime volume unit equal to 100 cubic feet, typically used to express a ship's internal capacity in historical contexts.

Why is the ton register unit important?

It was used to calculate ship capacity and fees such as port dues before modern tonnage conventions replaced it.

What Is This Tool?

This converter helps you transform volumes measured in metric cups, commonly used in cooking and nutrition, into ton register units, which represent large maritime volumes for ship capacity and historical vessel measurements.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volume value in metric cups you want to convert.
Select 'cup (metric)' as the from-unit and 'ton register [ton reg]' as the to-unit.
Click the convert button to see the equivalent volume in ton register.
Use the result for maritime, historical, or culinary volume comparisons as needed.

Key Features

Converts from metric cups (250 mL each) to ton register units used in maritime contexts.
Based on the exact volume definitions of both units.
Ideal for linking small volume measurements to large ship capacity volumes.
Browser-based and straightforward to use.

Examples

10 cups (metric) equals 0.000882867 ton register.
1000 cups (metric) equals 0.0882867 ton register.

Common Use Cases

Measuring ingredient volumes in metric recipes and converting for historical maritime data.
Estimating ship internal volumes for archival or regulatory purposes using register tons.
Calculating port fees or pilotage charges when referencing ton register measurements.
Understanding culinary volumes in relation to historic ship capacity units.

Tips & Best Practices

Always double-check the units before converting to ensure accuracy.
Remember that one metric cup equals exactly 250 millilitres.
Use this conversion primarily for historical or maritime documentation and not for modern shipping standards.
Be aware that the ton register unit is large compared to metric cups, so resulting values are very small.

Limitations

Ton register is an outdated unit largely replaced by modern tonnage conventions.
Conversion results involve very small coefficients due to large volume differences between units.
May not provide practical precision for everyday volume conversions because of scale difference.
