What does cubic foot per hour measure?

It measures the volume of fluid passing a point in one hour, commonly used in engineering and HVAC applications.

When should I use acre-foot per hour as a unit?

Acre-foot per hour is suited for describing large-scale water flow rates in contexts such as reservoir management and irrigation.

Does this conversion consider fluid density or viscosity?

No, the conversion assumes volumetric flow only and does not account for density or viscosity changes.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms flow rates measured in cubic foot per hour into acre-foot per hour, enabling comparisons between smaller-scale industrial or HVAC flows and larger volumes typical in water resource management and irrigation systems.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow rate value in cubic foot per hour (ft³/h) into the input field.
Select cubic foot/hour as the source unit and acre-foot/hour as the target unit.
Click the convert button to see the equivalent flow rate expressed in acre-foot per hour.

Key Features

Converts cubic foot/hour (ft³/h), a measure of volumetric flow rate used in engineering and process control.
Outputs values in acre-foot/hour (ac*ft/h), suitable for large-scale water resource and hydrology applications.
Provides quick and easy browser-based conversion with no software installation needed.

Examples

1000 cubic foot/hour is equal to 0.0229567 acre-foot/hour.
5000 cubic foot/hour converts to 0.1147835 acre-foot/hour.

Common Use Cases

Specifying ventilation or exhaust flow rates in HVAC systems.
Measuring gas flows such as natural gas or compressed air in pipelines.
Sizing irrigation canals and water delivery capacities for large-scale agricultural projects.
Reporting reservoir release or water diversion flows in hydrology.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this tool to bridge measurements between small-volume industrial systems and extensive water management projects.
Understand that acre-foot/hour is appropriate for large water flows and might be negligible for very low flow rates in cubic foot/hour.
Ensure consistent measurement conditions since the conversion does not adjust for fluid density or viscosity.

Limitations

Conversion assumes steady volumetric flow rates without accounting for fluid properties like density or viscosity.
Very small cubic foot/hour values may produce insignificant acre-foot/hour results with limited practical use.
Measurement accuracy may vary due to transient flow conditions in real-world systems.
