Ton register is a historical unit not commonly used in current maritime documentation.
-
Large conversion scale may cause challenges in maintaining numerical precision.
-
Care needed to avoid errors from mixing units with vast size differences.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a ton register?
-
A ton register is a volume unit equal to 100 cubic feet used historically in maritime contexts to express ship internal capacity.
-
Why convert ton register to cubic millimeters?
-
To translate large maritime volume measurements into very precise units suitable for scientific and engineering calculations.
-
Is ton register still used today?
-
Ton register is largely historical and mostly replaced by modern tonnage measures defined by international conventions.
Key Terminology
-
Ton register [ton reg]
-
A historical maritime unit of volume equal to 100 cubic feet, used to express the internal capacity of a ship.
-
Cubic millimeter [mm^3]
-
A unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with edges one millimeter in length, commonly used in precise scientific measurements.
-
Gross register tonnage
-
A maritime measurement of a ship's internal volume historically expressed in register tons.
