Convert Acre-feet per second to Cubic yards per minute
Convert Acre-feet per second (ac-ft/s) to Cubic yards per minute (yd³/min) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
yd³/min = ac-ft/s × 96800
About Acre-feet per second
The acre-foot per second (ac-ft/s) equals 1233.48183754752 m³/s, an enormous unit representing the flow that would fill a football-field-sized area to 1 ft depth every second. It appears in descriptions of exceptionally large dam-break flood waves and major river-system extreme events. The 1976 Teton Dam collapse peak outflow was estimated at ≈65 000 ft³/s ≈ 1.49 ac-ft/s. 1 ac-ft/s = 1 233.48 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.
