What is a Ton register used for?

Ton register is a maritime volume unit historically used to express a ship’s internal volume as gross or net tonnage for commercial and regulatory purposes.

How is Acre-inch defined?

An Acre-inch is the volume covering one acre of area to a depth of one inch, commonly used in irrigation planning and water storage contexts.

Why convert Ton register to Acre-inch?

This conversion helps translate maritime volume measurements into units relevant for agricultural water management and reservoir volume estimates.
