Convert Acre-feet per hour to Litres per minute
Convert Acre-feet per hour (ac-ft/h) to Litres per minute (L/min) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
L/min = ac-ft/h × 20558.03063
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 Litres per minute
The litre per minute (L/min) equals 10⁻³/60 ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁵ m³/s, one of the most common flow units in consumer and light-industrial applications. Household washing machines use 10-15 L/min; oxygen concentrators deliver 1-10 L/min to patients; a standard garden sprinkler head discharges 15-30 L/min. 1 L/min ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁵ m³/s ≈ 0.2642 US gal/min.
