The cent is a customary unit of measurement still used in some parts of southern Indian states such as Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka despite the usual use of metric units for other instances. One cent is defined as an area of 1 ⁄ 100 of an acre (40.5 m 2; 435.6 sq ft).
One ammonam was equal to 203.4 L. [1] One parrah = 1 ⁄ 8 ammonam, oneseer = 1 ⁄ 288 ammonam and the chundoo was equal to nearly half a pint. [2] Maccauly stated in 1818 that to the north of Colombo an Ammonam contained 16 Parahs, and 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 Ammonams equalled one Acre, but that to the south there were 8 Parahs to the Ammonam.

[a] Originally defined as the volume of 10 pounds (4.54 kg) of distilled water (under certain conditions), [b] then redefined by the Weights and Measures Act 1985 to be exactly 4.546 09 L (277.4 cu in), the imperial gallon is close in size to the old ale gallon.

This translates to a hoppus foot being equal to 1.273 cubic feet (2,200 in 3; 0.0360 m 3). The hoppus board foot, when milled, yields about one board foot. The volume yielded by the quarter-girth formula is 78.54% of cubic measure (i.e. 1 ft 3 = 0.7854 h ft; 1 h ft = 1.273 ft 3). [46]
