Convert Acre-feet per hour to Cubic yards per minute

Convert Acre-feet per hour (ac-ft/h) to Cubic yards per minute (yd³/min) instantly and accurately.

Acre-feet per hour (ac-ft/h)
Cubic yards per minute (yd³/min)

Conversion Formula

yd³/min = ac-ft/h × 26.88888889

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 yards per minute

The cubic yard per minute (yd³/min) equals 0.764554857984/60 ≈ 0.012743 m³/s, used in ready-mix concrete delivery rates (a concrete truck discharges 8-10 yd³ in about 10 min = 0.8-1 yd³/min) and dredge pump throughput in US harbour projects. 1 yd³/min ≈ 0.012743 m³/s = 12.74 L/s ≈ 200.0 US gal/min.
