Since an acre is defined as a chain by a furlong (i.e. 66 ft × 660 ft or 20.12 m × 201.17 m), an acre-foot is 43,560 cubic feet (1,233.5 m 3). There has been two definitions of the acre-foot (differing by about 0.0006%), using either the international foot (0.3048 m) or a U.S. survey foot (exactly 1200 / 3937 meters since 1893).
For example, the NIST document has 1 square mile = 2.589 988 E+06 square meters. The convert template has 1 square mile = 2,589,988.110336 square meters. Values for the fundamental physical constants come from the NIST Reference on Constants, Units, and Uncertainty , either the 2010 or the 2014 version.
One pic was equal to 2 feet (0.6096 m). [2] [3] Prior to the adoption of the metric system for units of length in 1986, this was the base unit for length. Other units used were the following: 1 inch = 2.54 cm or 1 ⁄ 12 foot, 1 ⁄ 24 pic, or 1 ⁄ 36 yard 1 foot = 30.48 cm or 12 inches, 1 ⁄ 2 pic, or 1 ⁄ 3 yard 1 yard = 0.9144 m or 3 feet ...

Wine was measured with units based on the wine gallon of 231 cubic inches (3.785 L), while beer was measured with units based on an ale gallon of 282 cubic inches (4.621 L) and grain was measured with the Winchester measure, with a gallon of approximately 268.8 cubic inches (one eighth of a Winchester bushel or 4.405 L). In 1824, these units ...
The general standard for liquids is 31.5 gal or half a hogshead. The common 55-gallon size of drum for storing and transporting various products and wastes is sometimes confused with a barrel, though it is not a standard measure. In the U.S., single servings of beverages are usually measured in fluid ounces.
[dubious – discuss] However, it retained the Anglo-Saxon rod of 15 x 11 ⁄ 10 feet (5.03 metres) and the acre of 4 × 40 square rods. Thus, the rod went from 5 old yards to 5 + 1 ⁄ 2 new yards, or 15 old feet to 16 + 1 ⁄ 2 new feet. The furlong went from 600 old feet (200 old yards) to 660 new feet (220 new yards). The acre went from ...
