What does one cubic inch per hour represent?

One cubic inch per hour denotes a volumetric flow rate where one cubic inch of volume passes a cross section every hour, commonly used to quantify very low volume flows.

Where is acre-foot per hour commonly used?

Acre-foot per hour measures large volumetric flow rates such as reservoir releases, irrigation canal capacities, and municipal water supply pumping.

Why does converting between these units involve very small numbers?

Because cubic inches are tiny compared to an acre-foot, converting involves extremely small conversion factors due to the significant scale difference.

Key Terminology

Cubic inch/hour [in^3/h]: A unit representing the flow of one cubic inch of volume passing a point every hour, used to measure very low volumetric flow rates.
Acre-foot/hour [ac*ft/h]: A flow rate describing one acre-foot (43,560 cubic feet) of volume passing per hour, commonly used in large-scale water resource management.
Volumetric Flow Rate: The volume of fluid passing through a cross-section per unit of time.
