What is a ton register?

A ton register is a maritime volume unit equal to 100 cubic feet, historically used to measure a ship's internal capacity.

What does acre-foot measure?

An acre-foot measures the volume of water that covers one acre of land to a depth of one foot, used mainly in water resource management.

Why convert ton register to acre-foot?

This conversion links historical ship volume data with water volume units useful in managing reservoirs, irrigation, and water allocations.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the ton register data is from historical or archival sources, as this unit is mostly obsolete.
Consider the context when converting to acre-foot, as it is primarily used for water volumes.
Verify applicability of conversions especially when integrating maritime volumes with water resource management.

Limitations

Ton register has been largely replaced by newer tonnage conventions and applies mainly to historical data.
Acre-foot is specific to water volumes and large hydrological applications, so interpretations may vary.
Conversion precision depends on the context and may not always be directly applicable.
