What Is This Tool?
This tool enables you to convert volumes from fluid ounces (US) to acre-feet (US survey), facilitating translation between small-scale liquid units and large-scale water resource measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in fluid ounces (US) into the input field.
-
Select fluid ounce (US) as the input unit and acre-foot (US survey) as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to view the equivalent volume in acre-feet (US survey).
Key Features
-
Converts fluid ounces (US) to acre-feet (US survey) accurately.
-
Browser-based and easy to use with no installation required.
-
Supports water resource management and irrigation planning conversions.
Examples
-
16 fl oz (US) converts to approximately 3.8361e-7 acre-foot (US survey).
-
128 fl oz (US) converts to about 3.0696649e-6 acre-foot (US survey).
Common Use Cases
-
Scaling household liquid measurements to water supply planning volumes.
-
Estimating reservoir or dam water capacities.
-
Managing irrigation water deliveries and agricultural water rights.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this conversion tool when dealing with large-scale water volume measurements.
-
Recognize that fluid ounces are commonly used in recipes and product labeling.
-
Note the difference between US survey foot and international foot when precision is critical.
Limitations
-
The very small conversion factor limits use for everyday small liquid volume conversions.
-
Measurement in acre-foot is based on the US survey foot, which differs slightly from international standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a fluid ounce (US)?
-
A fluid ounce (US) is a volume unit in the US customary system equal to 1/128 of a US liquid gallon, or exactly 29.5735295625 milliliters.
-
What does an acre-foot (US survey) represent?
-
An acre-foot (US survey) is the volume of water covering one acre to a depth of one US survey foot, equaling 43,560 cubic US survey feet.
-
When should I use this conversion?
-
This conversion is useful for translating small liquid volumes into large-scale water resource measurements, such as reservoir capacity or irrigation planning.
