What is a barrel (US)/minute?

It is a volumetric flow rate representing one US petroleum barrel (42 US gallons) passing per minute, commonly used in industrial flow quantification.

What does acre-foot/hour measure?

Acre-foot/hour describes a flow rate where one acre-foot of water (about 43,560 cubic feet) passes per hour, used in water-resources and irrigation contexts.

Can this conversion be used for all fluids?

No, it is a volumetric conversion that assumes standard volumes and does not account for differences in fluid density or properties.
