Convert Acre-feet per day to Cubic feet per minute
Convert Acre-feet per day (ac-ft/d) to Cubic feet per minute (ft³/min) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ft³/min = ac-ft/d × 30.25
About Acre-feet per day
The acre-foot per day (ac-ft/d) equals 1233.48183754752/86400 ≈ 0.014278 m³/s, the practical unit for daily water-delivery scheduling in western US irrigation districts and river-compact administration. Water rights in the Colorado River system are specified in acre-feet per year; daily delivery schedules convert to ac-ft/d. A moderate-size irrigation lateral delivers 5-50 ac-ft/d. 1 ac-ft/d ≈ 0.014278 m³/s ≈ 504.2 US gal/min.
About Cubic feet per minute
The cubic foot per minute (cfm or ft³/min) equals 0.028316846592/60 ≈ 4.719×10⁻⁴ m³/s, the dominant unit for ventilation, HVAC airflow, and compressed-air system design in the US. ASHRAE ventilation standards, building-code fresh-air requirements, and dust-collector capacity are all stated in cfm. A residential HVAC system moves 800-1 200 cfm; an industrial dust collector handles 2 000-20 000 cfm. 1 cfm ≈ 0.4719 L/s.
