What Is This Tool?
This converter helps transform flow measurements from acre-foot per day, a unit typically used for large-scale water volumes, into ounce (UK) per second, which measures small-scale volumetric flow rates. It supports various applications from agricultural water management to precise laboratory dosing.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in acre-foot/day in the input field
-
Select acre-foot/day as the source unit and ounce (UK)/second as the target unit
-
Click the convert button to view the equivalent flow rate
-
Use the output for your specific application or analysis

Examples
-
Convert 2 acre-foot/day to ounce (UK)/second: Result is approximately 1004.92 ounce (UK)/second
-
Convert 0.5 acre-foot/day to ounce (UK)/second: Result is approximately 251.23 ounce (UK)/second
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying irrigation delivery rates for agricultural water planning
-
Reporting reservoir inflow and outflow in water-resources management
-
Measuring small dispenser or tap flow rates in beverage services
-
Determining dosing or drip rates in laboratory and pharmaceutical settings
-
Analyzing small leak or microfluidic flow rates in engineering tests
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify units carefully to ensure appropriate scale in your application
-
Use this conversion when translating large volume flows to smaller precise flow rates
-
Review results to avoid misinterpretation due to unit difference scales
-
Consider rounding effects if applying values in practical measurements
Limitations
-
Acre-foot/day suits large volume flows, whereas ounce (UK)/second fits very small flow measurements
-
Converting between these units requires attention to scale differences to prevent confusion
-
Imperial and metric system differences may cause slight discrepancies in results
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does acre-foot per day measure?
-
It measures the volumetric flow rate of one acre-foot of water passing per day, commonly used in irrigation and water resources.
-
When is ounce (UK) per second used?
-
This unit is used for very small volumetric flows, such as liquid dispensing in laboratories, breweries, or microfluidic applications.
-
Can this tool convert other flow units?
-
This specific tool converts from acre-foot/day to ounce (UK)/second; for other units, different converters may be needed.
Key Terminology
-
Acre-foot/day [ac*ft/d]
-
A volumetric flow unit representing one acre-foot of volume passing per day, used in water resources and irrigation.
-
Ounce (UK)/second
-
A volumetric flow unit for the number of imperial fluid ounces flowing per second, used in precise small-scale liquid measurements.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid which passes through a given surface per unit time.
