Acre-Inch
An acre-inch is a unit of volume equal to the volume of one acre of surface area filled to a depth of one inch.
History/Origin
The acre-inch has historically been used in agriculture and water resource management to measure water volume over large land areas, especially in irrigation contexts, originating from the traditional use of acres and inches as units of land area and depth.
Current Use
Today, the acre-inch is primarily used in the United States for measuring water volumes in irrigation, water rights, and reservoir capacities, especially in agricultural and environmental management.
Femtoliter
A femtoliter (fL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-15 liters, used to measure extremely small quantities.
History/Origin
The femtoliter was introduced as part of the SI prefixes for metric units, specifically to quantify very small volumes in scientific research, particularly in biology and chemistry.
Current Use
Femtoliters are commonly used in fields such as cell biology, microfluidics, and nanotechnology to measure tiny volumes like individual cells, droplets, or nanoliter-scale samples.
