What does acre-foot/hour measure?

Acre-foot/hour measures volumetric flow rate, representing one acre-foot of water passing a point every hour.

Why is gasoline mass flow referenced at 15.5°C?

Gasoline is referenced at 15.5°C because it is a standard temperature for volume and density correction, ensuring consistent mass flow measurements.

Can I use this conversion for fluids other than gasoline or water?

No, this conversion specifically relates acre-foot/hour of water to pound/minute of gasoline at 15.5°C and is not applicable to other fluids without adjustment.

What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to translate flow rates from acre-foot per hour, a volumetric water flow rate, into pound per minute for gasoline at 15.5°C, which is a mass flow rate accounting for standard temperature reference used in petroleum industries.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow value in acre-foot/hour.
Select acre-foot/hour as the input unit and pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the output unit.
Click the convert button to get the mass flow rate equivalent.

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow in acre-foot/hour to mass flow in pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Uses a standard conversion rate for petroleum product measurements under standardized temperature.
Supports applications in water resource management and petroleum product custody transfer.

Examples

1 acre-foot/hour equals 33,508.52 pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
2 acre-foot/hour equals 67,017.05 pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).

Common Use Cases

Reporting and managing reservoir release or diversion rates in hydrology using volumetric flow rates.
Custody transfer and invoicing of gasoline shipments with volume corrections at standard temperature.
Engineering tasks like pipeline sizing and pump selection based on mass flow referenced to 15.5°C.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure temperature conditions match the 15.5°C reference for accurate gasoline mass flow comparisons.
Use this conversion when correlating water flow measurements to petroleum product mass flow under standard conditions.
Verify units carefully to avoid confusion between volumetric and mass flow quantities.

Limitations

Conversion is based on gasoline density at exactly 15.5°C; deviations in temperature or composition may affect results.
The fromUnit measures volumetric flow of water, while the toUnit measures mass flow of gasoline; direct equivalency assumes standard conditions and is not a straightforward fluid interchange.
