Convert Acre-feet per hour to Cubic inches per second
Convert Acre-feet per hour (ac-ft/h) to Cubic inches per second (in³/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
in³/s = ac-ft/h × 20908.8
About Acre-feet per hour
The acre-foot per hour (ac-ft/h) equals 1233.48183754752/3600 ≈ 0.34263 m³/s, standard for sizing irrigation district delivery canals, reservoir outflow scheduling, and aquifer recharge basin calculations in the western US. The US Bureau of Reclamation uses ac-ft/h for canal operational planning; a 1 000-acre farm irrigating with 0.5 in/h rain-equivalent receives ≈41 ac-ft/h. 1 ac-ft/h ≈ 0.34263 m³/s.
About Cubic inches per second
The cubic inch per second (in³/s) equals 1.6387064×10⁻⁵ m³/s, used in US automotive engineering for engine displacement sweep rate, fuel-injector calibration, and hydraulic actuator speed specifications. An engine injector delivering 15 in³/s of fuel corresponds to roughly 15.5 mL/s; hydraulic jacks in US equipment are rated in in³/s at operating pressure. 1 in³/s ≈ 1.639×10⁻⁵ m³/s = 0.016387 L/s.
