Convert Cubic inches per minute to Acre-feet per hour
Convert Cubic inches per minute (in³/min) to Acre-feet per hour (ac-ft/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ac-ft/h = in³/min × 7.971125395e-7
About Cubic inches per minute
The cubic inch per minute (in³/min) equals 1.6387064×10⁻⁵/60 ≈ 2.731×10⁻⁷ m³/s, common in US pneumatic and hydraulic circuit design. Air-tool consumption is rated in SCIM (standard cubic inches per minute); small hydraulic cylinders advancing at 10 in/min with 1 in² bore consume 10 in³/min: exactly 0.163 mL/s. 1 in³/min ≈ 2.731×10⁻⁷ m³/s.
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.
