What Is This Tool?
This tool allows users to convert volume measurements from milliliters (mL), a small metric volume unit, to acre-foot (US survey), a large volume unit used worldwide for water resource management. It helps translate liquid volumes from very small to very large scales.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in milliliters [mL] you want to convert.
-
Select acre-foot (US survey) as the target unit for conversion.
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent volume in acre-foot (US survey).
Key Features
-
Converts volume from milliliters to acre-foot (US survey) accurately based on defined conversion rates.
-
Supports volume measurement used in laboratory, medical, agricultural, and municipal contexts.
-
Browser-based and easy to use with straightforward input and output.
Examples
-
1,000,000 milliliters [mL] converts to 0.00081070832952048 acre-foot (US survey).
-
500,000 milliliters [mL] converts to 0.00040535416476024 acre-foot (US survey).
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring reagent and sample volumes in laboratory pipetting.
-
Allocating irrigation water rights and managing agricultural water distribution.
-
Planning and monitoring municipal and regional water supply volumes.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure volume values are entered accurately to avoid errors in very small fractional results.
-
Use this conversion method primarily for liquid volumes related to water resource management.
-
Be aware of the scale difference when interpreting converted results, as acre-foot volumes represent large quantities.
Limitations
-
Converting milliliters to acre-foot involves a large scale difference, often resulting in very small fractional values.
-
Acre-foot as a unit applies specifically to water covering an area and may not be appropriate for all volume measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What volume does one milliliter correspond to?
-
One milliliter (mL) equals one thousandth of a liter and is exactly equal to one cubic centimeter.
-
What does one acre-foot (US survey) represent?
-
An acre-foot (US survey) is the volume of water covering one acre of land to a depth of one US survey foot.
-
Why would I convert milliliters to acre-foot?
-
To translate small liquid volumes into large-scale water volumes used in reservoir management, irrigation planning, and water resource allocation.
Key Terminology
-
Milliliter (mL)
-
A metric volume unit equal to one thousandth of a liter and exactly one cubic centimeter.
-
Acre-foot (US survey)
-
A volume unit representing the amount of water covering one acre to a depth of one US survey foot.
