What does one cubic foot/minute measure?

It measures the volumetric flow rate of one cubic foot of fluid, often air, passing through a cross-section per minute.

Why convert cubic foot/minute to acre-foot/year?

To translate short-term volumetric flow rates into long-term water volume units used in resource planning and allocation.

Are these units interchangeable for all types of flows?

No, the units suit different flow scenarios and should only be converted when contextually appropriate.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms volumetric flow measurements from cubic foot per minute, typically used in HVAC and engineering, into acre-foot per year, a unit commonly applied in water resource planning and agricultural irrigation.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow value in cubic foot per minute.
Select cubic foot/minute as the original unit and acre-foot/year as the target unit.
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent flow rate in acre-foot per year.
Use the result for planning or engineering calculations as needed.

Key Features

Converts flow rates from cubic foot/minute to acre-foot/year.
Useful for both short-term air or fluid volume flow and long-term water volume allocation.
Supports applications in HVAC, water resource management, and irrigation planning.
Browser-based and easy to use with clear input and output units.

Examples

5 cubic foot/minute equals approximately 60.33 acre-foot/year.
0.1 cubic foot/minute equals approximately 1.2066 acre-foot/year.

Common Use Cases

Specifying fan or blower airflow rates in HVAC systems.
Measuring compressed air delivery for pneumatic tools.
Water-resources planning and reservoir discharge calculations.
Allocating irrigation water rights for agricultural districts.
Municipal water supply demand forecasting.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify flow consistency as the conversion presumes steady flow over time.
Ensure units of air or fluid volume per minute align appropriately with long-term water flow requirements.
Use the tool to support both engineering design and water resource management tasks.

Limitations

Assumes continuous steady flow and may not reflect intermittent or highly variable flow conditions.
Compares different flow types—minute-based air or fluid volume to yearly water volume—so confirm contextual relevance before use.
