What is a quart (UK)?

A quart (UK) is an imperial volume unit equal to one quarter of an imperial gallon, exactly 1.1365225 litres, traditionally used in the UK.

What is an acre-foot used for?

An acre-foot quantifies large volumes of water, such as reservoir storage, irrigation water delivery, and municipal water supply.

Why convert quart (UK) to acre-foot?

This conversion helps translate small traditional British liquid measures into large-scale water volume units used in water resource management.

What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to change volume values from the British quart (UK), an older imperial liquid measure, into the acre-foot, a large-scale water volume unit widely used in water resources and irrigation.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volume value in quart (UK) you wish to convert
Select quart (UK) as the input unit and acre-foot as the output unit
Initiate the conversion to get the equivalent volume in acre-foot
Use the result for water management, irrigation planning, or related applications

Key Features

Converts from quart (UK) to acre-foot accurately based on defined conversion rate
Supports volume measurement in both traditional British and large-scale water resource units
Browser-based and easy to use without installation
Facilitates translating small liquid volumes into extensive water volume quantities

Examples

10 qt (UK) converts to approximately 9.2139e-6 ac*ft
1000 qt (UK) converts to about 0.000921394 ac*ft

Common Use Cases

Converting traditional British liquid measures into large water volume measurements
Water resources management such as reservoir capacity reporting
Irrigation water allocation and agricultural planning
Municipal water supply and water rights volume expression

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure numerical precision when converting due to very small decimal values
Use for bridging legacy volume units with large-scale water resource metrics
Double-check results when applying to engineering or scientific calculations
Apply this conversion mainly for water resource management contexts rather than everyday measurements

Limitations

Quart (UK) is an outdated, small-volume measurement seldom used in modern science
Acre-foot measures very large water volumes, making it impractical for small-scale everyday use
Conversions involve extremely small decimal values requiring careful handling
Not suitable for typical recipe scaling or household liquid quantities
