What volume does a US liquid quart represent?
-
A US liquid quart is a volume unit equal to one quarter of a US liquid gallon, approximately 0.946352946 liters or 57.75 cubic inches.
-
What is an acre-foot (US survey)?
-
An acre-foot (US survey) is the volume of water required to cover one acre of land to a depth of one US survey foot, equaling 43,560 cubic US survey feet.
