Unit Information

Symbol: pk
Unit System: US Customary

What is the Peck?

The peck is a unit of volume in the US customary unit system. It uses the symbol pk.

1 US peck is equal to 1/4 of a US bushel. This is also equal to 2 US dry gallons, 8 US dry quarts or 16 US dry pints. In SI / metric, this equates to 8.809768 L.

Although the imperial peck is almost obsolete, it survives in some places in the USA - where some products (namely apples) are still sold by the peck.

It appears in the old English nursery rhyme; 'Peter Piper' where he 'picked a peck of pickled peppers'.

What is the Acre Foot?

The acre-foot is a unit of volume in the US customary unit system with the symbol ac⋅ft.

It represents the volume contained in a box measuring 660 feet long, 66 feet wide and 1 foot deep. This can be thought of a box the size of an acre but 1 foot deep.

It is approximately the same volume as an 8 lane swimming pool; 25 metres in length, 3 metres deep and 16 metres wide (assuming lanes are 2 metres wide).

It is still used in the US despite its links to the much-outdated imperial system of units. For example a "rule of thumb" is that an average suburban family's annual water usage should be around 1 acre-foot. This is equal to just under 3.4 m³ daily.
