What is a kiloliter in volume measurement?

A kiloliter (kL) is a unit of volume equal to 1,000 liters or exactly one cubic metre, commonly used in engineering and everyday contexts for larger liquid volumes.

What does a ton register measure?

A ton register (ton reg) measures volume, specifically 100 cubic feet or about 2.83 cubic metres, and is used historically in maritime settings to express ship internal capacity.

Why convert kiloliters to ton register units?

Converting kiloliters to ton register helps express liquid volumes in maritime contexts where vessel space is traditionally recorded in register tons for purposes such as port fees and historical documentation.
