Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a ton register unit?
-
It is a historical maritime volume unit equal to 100 cubic feet, used to express a ship’s internal capacity in gross or net register tonnage.
-
Why convert ton register to cubic centimeters?
-
To translate large maritime volume measurements into precise smaller units useful for detailed analysis and comparison with scientific data.
-
Is the ton register unit still used today?
-
It is mostly replaced by modern tonnage measures but is still relevant for historical records and some regulatory contexts.
Key Terminology
-
Ton register [ton reg]
-
A historical maritime volume unit equal to 100 cubic feet, formerly used to measure ship internal capacity as gross or net register tonnage.
-
Cubic centimeter [cm³]
-
A unit of volume representing a cube with 1 centimeter sides, commonly used in medical, laboratory, and small liquid volume measurements.
-
Gross register tonnage
-
A measurement of a ship’s total internal volume, historically expressed in ton register units.
