What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms volumes expressed in ton register, a maritime unit representing vessel internal space, into cubic centimeters (cc), a unit commonly used for small volume measurements such as medical dosages and engine displacements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in ton register units into the input field.
-
Select 'ton register [ton reg]' as the unit to convert from.
-
Choose 'cc [cc, cm^3]' as the target unit for conversion.
-
Click the convert button to view the equivalent volume in cubic centimeters.
Key Features
-
Converts ton register volumes (historical maritime unit) into cubic centimeters (cc).
-
Uses an exact conversion factor linking ship capacity to precise cc values.
-
Facilitates interpretation of maritime volumes for technical and scientific needs.
-
Browser-based and easy-to-use interface for quick volume conversions.
Examples
-
2 ton register = 2 × 2,831,684.6592 = 5,663,369.3184 cc
-
0.5 ton register = 0.5 × 2,831,684.6592 = 1,415,842.3296 cc
Common Use Cases
-
Expressing older ships' internal volume for archival maritime documentation.
-
Calculating port fees or canal dues referencing register tons.
-
Translating vessel volume into small increments for engineering and laboratory applications.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify that volumes in ton register relate to historical or archival maritime data for relevance.
-
Use this conversion for detailed volume analysis where precise small-unit measures are needed.
-
Be mindful of the large numerical results when converting to cc to ensure appropriate unit handling.
Limitations
-
Ton register is largely a historical unit replaced by modern tonnage standards internationally.
-
The resulting cc values are very large, which may complicate some calculations or require unit conversions.
-
Conversion is mainly applicable for specialized maritime or archival documentation contexts.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a ton register?
-
A ton register is a maritime volume unit measuring 100 cubic feet, historically used to quantify a ship's internal capacity for commercial and regulatory purposes.
-
Why convert ton register to cubic centimeters?
-
Converting to cubic centimeters allows detailed volume measurements suitable for technical, engineering, or scientific work that requires precise small-scale units.
-
Is ton register still used internationally?
-
Ton register has mostly been replaced by newer tonnage measures under international conventions but remains relevant for historical or archival records.
Key Terminology
-
Ton Register [ton reg]
-
A historical maritime volume unit equal to 100 cubic feet, used to express a ship's internal capacity.
-
Cubic Centimeter (cc or cm³)
-
A volume unit equal to the volume of a cube with sides of 1 centimeter, equivalent to one milliliter.
-
Gross/Net Register Tonnage
-
Measurements representing the internal volume of a ship, traditionally expressed in register tons.
