Convert Acre-feet per second to US quarts per minute
Convert Acre-feet per second (ac-ft/s) to US quarts per minute (qt/min) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
qt/min = ac-ft/s × 78204342.86
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 US quarts per minute
The US quart per minute (qt/min) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/4/60 ≈ 1.577×10⁻⁵ m³/s, encountered in US small-engine fuel system testing and food-processing pump calibration. Engine dynamometer fuel-flow instrumentation sometimes uses qt/min when testing small gasoline engines consuming 1-6 qt/min at full load. 1 US qt/min ≈ 1.577×10⁻⁵ m³/s.
