What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms volumetric flow measurements from acre-foot per hour, commonly used for large-scale water flow rates, into cubic centimeters per minute, which is suitable for very small flow rates in scientific and medical contexts.

-
Convert 0.5 acre-foot/hour to cubic centimeter/minute: 0.5 × 20,558,112.858245 = 10,279,056.429123 cm³/min
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting reservoir release or diversion rates in water-resources management and hydrology
-
Sizing and specifying capacities for large irrigation canals and delivery systems
-
Describing pumping or inter-basin transfer rates for municipal and regional water supply projects
-
Setting infusion or syringe-pump delivery rates in medical dosing
-
Specifying flows in microfluidics and chromatography laboratory equipment
-
Measuring small gas or liquid flows in instrumentation testing and fuel-injection characterization
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm the suitability of unit scale before converting between large and small flow rates
-
Use this converter for bridging large-scale water management data to precise scientific measurements
-
Apply conversions carefully to avoid errors due to vastly different flow magnitudes
-
Review unit definitions to ensure proper context for each application
Limitations
-
Spanning vastly different flow magnitudes means acre-foot/hour fits large-scale flows, while cubic centimeter/minute is for much smaller scales
-
Conversion should be used with care to prevent misapplication between these disparate magnitudes
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does acre-foot/hour measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate equivalent to one acre-foot of water passing per hour, commonly used in large-scale water resource management.
-
Where is cubic centimeter/minute commonly applied?
-
It is used to quantify small flow rates in medical dosing, laboratory equipment, and analytical instrumentation.
-
Can I use this converter for any flow rates?
-
This converter is designed for converting between very large flow units (acre-foot/hour) and very small flow units (cubic centimeter/minute), so ensure the units are appropriate for your use case.
Key Terminology
-
Acre-foot/hour [ac*ft/h]
-
A volumetric flow rate equal to one acre-foot of water passing per hour, widely used in hydrology and water-resource management.
-
Cubic centimeter/minute
-
A unit of volumetric flow rate representing one cubic centimeter of volume passing a point each minute, useful for precise small-scale flow measurements.
