Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm the volume you have is originally measured in Ton register to ensure accurate conversion
-
Use the conversion to relate maritime volumes to metric liquid volumes when comparing different domains
-
Be aware of the historical context of Ton register when applying conversions to modern vessels
-
Consider Kiloliter measurements for engineering, environmental, and industrial liquid volume needs
Limitations
-
Ton register is a historical unit largely replaced by newer maritime tonnage definitions
-
Kiloliters measure liquid volume, whereas Ton register includes internal ship volume which may encompass air space
-
Conversion may not precisely represent cargo volume due to the approximate basis of Ton register’s measurement
-
The ton register unit is regionally limited and its use in international contexts is uncommon
