What Is This Tool?
This converter helps translate volume values from the UK quart, a traditional imperial liquid measure, into the US survey acre-foot, a unit used for large-scale water volume assessment. It supports applications bridging British historical measures and modern American water resource metrics.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the quantity in quart (UK) you want to convert
-
Select quart (UK) as the source unit
-
Choose acre-foot (US survey) as the target unit
-
Review the converted value displayed
-
Use the result for water management or volume interpretation needs
Key Features
-
Converts imperial quart (UK) volumes to acre-foot (US survey) units
-
Supports legacy British liquid volume measurements
-
Facilitates water resource planning and irrigation volume conversions
-
Browser-based and easy to use
-
Useful for environmental, agricultural, and municipal water management
Examples
-
10 quart (UK) equals 9.2138825743744e-6 acre-foot (US survey)
-
1000 quart (UK) equals 0.00092138825743744 acre-foot (US survey)
Common Use Cases
-
Converting small British liquid volumes to large-scale water reservoir capacities
-
Interpreting historical British measurements in US water resource contexts
-
Agricultural irrigation allocation and reporting in compatible volume units
-
Environmental engineering and regional water supply assessments
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify units carefully when dealing with legacy measurements
-
Use conversions mainly for contextual understanding or planning
-
Account for the large difference in scale between quart (UK) and acre-foot (US survey)
-
Be cautious with very small decimal results requiring accurate interpretation
Limitations
-
Quart (UK) is less common in modern scientific applications
-
Conversions produce very small decimal outputs due to large unit size differences
-
Minor discrepancies may occur due to differences in unit standards between UK and US measurements
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a quart (UK)?
-
A quart (UK) is an imperial volume unit equal to one quarter of an imperial gallon, precisely 1.1365225 litres. It is traditionally used in older British liquid volume measures.
-
What does an acre-foot (US survey) represent?
-
An acre-foot (US survey) is the volume of water covering one acre to a depth of one US survey foot, approximately 1,233.5 cubic metres, commonly used for water resource management.
-
Why convert quart (UK) to acre-foot (US survey)?
-
Conversions are helpful when interpreting British liquid volumes in terms of large American water volumes for reservoir management, agricultural water rights, and planning.
Key Terminology
-
Quart (UK) [qt (UK)]
-
An imperial unit of volume equal to one quarter of an imperial gallon, exactly 1.1365225 litres, used primarily in older British measurements.
-
Acre-foot (US survey)
-
A unit of volume equal to the water covering one acre of area to a depth of one US survey foot; used in water resource management and irrigation planning.
