A US gill is a customary liquid volume equal to one quarter of a US liquid pint or four US fluid ounces, historically used for small beverage quantities.

What does an acre-foot (US survey) represent?

An acre-foot (US survey) is the volume of water covering one acre of area to a depth of one US survey foot, used mainly in water resource management.

Why are conversions from gill to acre-foot often very small?

Because a gill is a very small volume unit compared to an acre-foot, conversions result in very small decimal values.

Key Features

Converts volume units from gill (US), historically used for small beverage quantities, to acre-foot (US survey), a unit for water volume related to land area coverage.
Supports integration of traditional US customary units into modern water resource management contexts.
Browser-based tool offering straightforward and precise unit conversions.

Examples

100 gills (US) [gi] converts to 9.5902026998555e-6 acre-foot (US survey).
1000 gills (US) [gi] converts to 9.5902026998555e-5 acre-foot (US survey).

Common Use Cases

Measuring small amounts of spirits or liqueurs in historical cocktail recipes.
Converting traditional brewing or culinary recipes using US customary units into large water resource units.
Translating historical liquid volume data into modern water supply, irrigation, and reservoir management planning.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this tool to bridge traditional measurement units with contemporary water resource volume units for clarity and consistency.
Ensure understanding of the scale difference since gill volumes are very small compared to acre-foot volumes.
Apply precise digital tools or software when handling conversion results due to very small decimal values.

Limitations

Conversions often produce extremely small decimal numbers due to the size difference between gill and acre-foot units.
The gill is a historical, non-SI unit rarely used in modern large-volume water measurements, limiting direct practical application.
Accurate handling of these conversion results may require specialized software or high-precision devices.
