About these units
Acre-Foot (US Survey) (ac*ft (US))
The US survey acre-foot differs extremely slightly from the international acre-foot due to the slight difference between the survey foot and the international foot. While the distinction is negligible in most contexts, it is important in surveying, legal water rights, and long-term hydrological accounting, especially in regions where large historical datasets were recorded using US survey measures. This variant highlights how even subtle unit differences can have major implications when dealing with huge volumes over long timescales, such as state water budgets and inter-state compacts.
Tablespoon (UK) (tbsp (UK))
The UK tablespoon traditionally equals 15 mL, though older definitions ranged from 17.7 to 25 mL depending on period and context. In modern British cooking, the tablespoon is standardized at 15 mL, aligning it with the metric tablespoon used in many countries. This measure remains essential in culinary arts for oils, spices, flavorings, and liquid ingredients, demonstrating how some units survive because of convenience and cultural familiarity, even in highly metricized societies.
