Convert Acre-feet per minute to Cubic feet per hour
Convert Acre-feet per minute (ac-ft/min) to Cubic feet per hour (ft³/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ft³/h = ac-ft/min × 2613600
About Acre-feet per minute
The acre-foot per minute (ac-ft/min) equals 1233.48183754752/60 ≈ 20.558 m³/s, encountered in large irrigation canal capacity descriptions and reservoir emergency spillway sizing in the US West. A major canal gate releasing 1 ac-ft/min drains a 1-acre field 1 foot deep every minute - a substantial agricultural flow. 1 ac-ft/min ≈ 20.558 m³/s ≈ 726.0 ft³/s.
About Cubic feet per hour
The cubic foot per hour (ft³/h) equals 0.028316846592/3600 ≈ 7.866×10⁻⁶ m³/s, used in US natural-gas metering (residential gas meters read in cubic feet; billing converts to CCF = 100 ft³) and historical furnace-fuel-consumption tables. A US residential gas furnace consumes 80-200 ft³/h of natural gas at full fire. 1 ft³/h ≈ 7.866×10⁻⁶ m³/s.
