What exactly is a quart (US)?

A US liquid quart is a volume unit equal to one quarter of a US liquid gallon, approximately 0.946352946 liters, used commonly for liquids like milk or engine oil.

What is a ton register in maritime usage?

A ton register is a volume measurement equaling 100 cubic feet, historically used to denote a ship's internal capacity as gross or net register tonnage.

Is ton register still used in modern shipping?

Ton register has mostly been replaced by tonnage measures from the 1969 Tonnage Convention but may still appear in historical records and certain regulatory contexts.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify that the volume measurement is specifically in US liquid quarts before converting.
Use the tool primarily for historical or regulatory maritime volume contexts.
Remember that ton register measures volume, not weight, so consider the context.
Check for unit system consistency when working across different measurement standards.

Limitations

Ton register is largely a historical unit and often replaced by modern tonnage conventions.
Conversion applies only to US liquid quarts, not Imperial or US dry quarts.
Ton register represents volume, so it is not a direct indicator of cargo weight.
Differences in liquid quart definitions across countries may affect precision.
