What does acre-foot per hour measure?

It measures a volumetric flow rate representing one acre-foot of water passing per hour, useful in water resources management.

Why convert to pound per second for gasoline at 15.5°C?

This unit expresses mass flow of gasoline at a standard temperature, allowing precise control in fuel transfer, consumption, and engineering.

Can this conversion be used for gasoline at temperatures other than 15.5°C?

No, since gasoline density changes with temperature, this conversion assumes the gasoline is at 15.5°C for accuracy.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure gasoline temperature is standardized at 15.5°C for accurate mass flow conversions
Use this unit conversion to relate water flow volumes to gasoline mass flow properly
Interpret results carefully, considering the density assumptions behind the conversion
Apply the tool for engineering, fuel management, and hydrology tasks requiring cross-domain flow data

Limitations

Conversion depends on gasoline density at exactly 15.5°C; deviations may affect accuracy
Acre-foot/hour fundamentally measures water volumetric flow, so substitution requires precise density adjustments
Variations in gasoline composition or temperature are not accounted for in this conversion
