What is a UK pint exactly?

It is an imperial unit of liquid volume equal to 1/8 of an imperial gallon, exactly 568.26125 millilitres.

Where is acre-foot mainly used?

Acre-foot is mainly used in North America for quantifying large water volumes like reservoirs and irrigation.

Why are converted values so small?

Because a pint (UK) is a much smaller volume compared to an acre-foot, resulting in very small fractional values.

How to Convert from Pint (UK) [pt (UK)] to Acre-foot [ac*ft]

Learn how to convert volume measurements from the UK pint (pt UK) to the acre-foot (ac*ft), a unit used in large-scale water volume contexts such as irrigation and water resource management.

Select pint (UK) as the input unit and acre-foot as the output unit.
Click convert to see the equivalent volume in acre-foot.
Review examples provided for guidance on interpreting results.

Key Features

Converts UK pints, an imperial liquid volume unit, into acre-foot, used for large water volumes.
Supports water resource management, irrigation planning, and municipal water supply applications.
Includes real-world examples illustrating conversion of household volumes to acre-foot scale.
Browser-based and easy to use without requiring installation.

Examples

1000 pint (UK) converts to approximately 0.0004607 acre-foot.
5000 pint (UK) equals about 0.0023035 acre-foot.

Common Use Cases

Translating small volume measures like milk or beer pints into large water volume units for resource reporting.
Scaling liquid volumes in household or retail settings for use in agricultural irrigation planning.
Assessing reservoir or lake water storage capacities in units of acre-foot.

Tips & Best Practices

Always verify whether the pint used is UK imperial or US liquid to prevent errors.
Use scientific notation to interpret very small results when converting from pint to acre-foot.
Consider regional contexts since acre-foot is mostly used in North America and pint (UK) in Commonwealth countries.

Limitations

Converting from a relatively small unit (pint UK) to a very large one (acre-foot) often yields extremely small numbers.
Differences between imperial and US pint volumes can cause confusion if not accounted for.
Acre-foot is primarily a North American unit, limiting the conversion’s relevance elsewhere.
