Convert US quarts per second to Acre-feet per hour
Convert US quarts per second (qt/s) to Acre-feet per hour (ac-ft/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ac-ft/h = qt/s × 0.002761994949
About US quarts per second
The US quart per second (qt/s) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/4 ≈ 9.464×10⁻⁴ m³/s, used in US industrial filling lines handling quart-size containers (motor oil, paint, sauce). A high-speed filling machine loading 1 qt bottles at 4 per second processes 4 qt/s per nozzle. 1 US qt/s ≈ 9.464×10⁻⁴ m³/s = 0.9464 L/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.
