Convert Acre-feet per minute to Kilolitres per hour
Convert Acre-feet per minute (ac-ft/min) to Kilolitres per hour (kL/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kL/h = ac-ft/min × 74008.91025
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 Kilolitres per hour
The kilolitre per hour (kL/h) equals 1/3600 m³/s ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁴ m³/s, identical to m³/h. It is used interchangeably with m³/h in Australian, New Zealand, and South African process-engineering practice. Pump datasheets from these markets quote capacity in kL/h; water-meter billing in rural areas uses kL/h for irrigation allocation. 1 kL/h = 1 m³/h = 1 000 L/h.
