Measures and Conversions

Prepared by Hilary A. Sandler

Liquid Measures

1 oz = 2 tablespoons = 6 teaspoons = 29.6 ml
1 cup = 8 oz        
1 pint = 2 cups = 16 oz        
1 quart = 2 pints = 4 cups = 32 oz        
1 gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints = 16 cups = 128 oz    
1 cup = 237 ml        
1 pint = 473 ml = 0.473 liters            
1 quart = 946 ml = 0.946 liters 
1 gallon = 3.78 liters = 3,785 ml    
1 acre-foot water = 326,000 gallons        
0.1 inch water per acre = 2717 gallons
1 fl. oz/gal = 7.81 ml/liter        

Mass Conversions

1 oz = 28.4 grams        
1 lb = 454 g = 0.454 kg        
1 kg = 2.2 lb = 35.2 oz
1 oz/gal = 7.49 g/liter

Temperature Conversions

°F = (9/5 °C) + 32 (guesstimate: double °C, add 30)    
°C = 5/9 (°F-32) (guesstimate: subtract 30 and halve)

Length and Area Conversions

1 acre = 43,560 sq. ft = 0.405 hectares
1 hectare = 2.47 acres
1 meter = 1.09 yards = 3.28 feet = 39.4 inches
1 yard = 3 feet = 36 inches = 0.914 meters
1 cm = 0.39 inches
1 inch = 2.54 cm
1 rod = 16.5 ft
1 sq. rod = 272.2 ft2
1 square meter = 10.76 ft2
1 cubic meter = 35.29 cubic feet = 1.30 cubic yards
1 inch layer of sand per acre = 134 cubic yards

Other Conversions

pt/A * 0.473 = liters/A
pt/A * 1.167 = liters/ha
lb/A * 0.454 = kg/A
lb/A * 1.12 = kg/ha
gal/A * 3.78 = liter/A
gal/A * 9.35 = liter/ha
ton/A * 2,242 = kg/ha
bbl/A * 0.112 = Mg/ha
g/ft2 * 0.958= bbl/A
1 fl. oz/A *73.1 = ml/ha
