Why convert from cubic foot per minute to acre-foot per hour?

This conversion helps relate smaller-scale air or fluid volumetric flow rates to larger water flow rates, enabling better communication across engineering and water management fields.

Is acre-foot per hour used for air flow measurements?

No, acre-foot per hour is typically used for water flow rates and may not accurately represent air or gas flows.

Can this tool be used for very small flow rates?

Acre-foot per hour may be impractical for very small flows, as it is intended for large volumetric flow measurements.
