About these units
Milliliter (mL)
A milliliter, defined as 1/1,000 of a liter or precisely 1 cubic centimeter, is a small but enormously significant volume unit in cooking, medicine, pharmacy, and laboratory science. Medical syringes, dosing spoons, and IV solutions rely heavily on milliliter accuracy. In laboratories, mL measurements are routine for preparing reagents, dilutions, and biological media. Because 1 mL = 1 cm³, many devices use either notation interchangeably depending on context. Despite its small size, the milliliter is commonly used in daily life as well—perfume bottles, beverage labels, and household cleaners often list contents in milliliters. Its precision and simplicity make the milliliter one of the world's most practical measurement 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.
