Convert Kilolitres per minute to Acre-feet per hour
Convert Kilolitres per minute (kL/min) to Acre-feet per hour (ac-ft/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ac-ft/h = kL/min × 0.04864279163
About Kilolitres per minute
The kilolitre per minute (kL/min) equals 1/60 m³/s ≈ 0.016667 m³/s, used in Australian water-utility engineering for pump and pipeline sizing. Irrigation district delivery schedules and water-authority trunk-main flow records in Australia and New Zealand frequently use kL/min as an intermediate unit between L/s and ML/d. 1 kL/min = 1 000 L/min ≈ 264.2 US gal/min.
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.
