What does one cubic inch/minute measure?

It expresses the volume flow rate of one cubic inch passing a point each minute, commonly used in small-scale pneumatic or hydraulic system flows.

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

To translate small volumetric flow measurements into long-term water volume rates useful in water resource planning and irrigation management.

Can this conversion handle intermittent flows accurately?

No, it assumes a continuous flow over the year, so intermittent or variable flows may not be represented precisely.

User-friendly interface suitable for engineers and water resource managers.
Browser-based tool requiring no installation.

Examples

10 cubic inch/minute converts to 0.069826779 acre-foot/year.
50 cubic inch/minute equals 0.349133895 acre-foot/year.

Common Use Cases

Specifying leak or purge rates in pneumatic and hydraulic systems.
Planning long-term water resource deliveries and reservoir yields.
Allocating agricultural irrigation water rights and forecasting municipal water demand.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure flow is measured continuously when converting to annual volumes.
Use accurate small-scale instruments to improve conversion reliability.
Apply this conversion in water resource management and irrigation scheduling contexts.

Limitations

Assumes steady continuous flow over the entire year, which might not match real fluctuating conditions.
Measurement precision affects conversion accuracy, especially at small flow rates.
Does not account for intermittent or variable flow patterns within the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Key Terminology

Cubic inch/minute [in^3/min]: A volumetric flow unit representing one cubic inch of fluid passing a point every minute, used for small-scale flow measurements.
Acre-foot/year [ac*ft/y]: A flow rate describing one acre-foot of volume delivered or used over a year; one acre-foot covers an acre of area to a depth of one foot.
