The gill (UK) is an imperial unit of volume equal to one quarter of an imperial pint, traditionally used in British measurements for small liquid quantities.

Where is the acre-foot (US survey) unit used?

The acre-foot (US survey) is mainly used in the United States for measuring large volumes of water, such as in reservoirs and irrigation.

Why are conversions between gill (UK) and acre-foot important?

These conversions help translate small traditional British liquid volumes into large-scale water volume units relevant for water resource management and historical research.

Common Use Cases

Interpreting traditional British spirit or beer serving sizes from historical sources.
Converting old recipes and household or medical liquid volumes into metric or modern units.
Documenting antique containers and archival records that use imperial measurements.
Measuring water volume in reservoirs and dams for water-resource management purposes.
Allocating irrigation water and managing agricultural water rights.
Planning municipal or regional annual water supply and consumption.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure you input the correct unit and value before converting to avoid errors.
Use this tool mainly for conversion tasks bridging historical or culinary needs with modern water resource planning.
Be aware of the large difference in scale between the small gill (UK) and the large acre-foot units.
Consider the regional specificity of the acre-foot unit when applying conversion results.

Limitations

The gill (UK) is substantially smaller than the acre-foot, resulting in very small output values that might demand high precision.
The acre-foot (US survey) is primarily used within the United States and may not be relevant in other regions.
These units are used in very different contexts, so conversions are mainly for reference or bridging legacy data.
