Convert Kilolitres per minute to Acre-feet per second
Convert Kilolitres per minute (kL/min) to Acre-feet per second (ac-ft/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ac-ft/s = kL/min × 1.351188656e-5
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 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.
