Click convert to obtain the equivalent flow rate in acre-foot per day.

Key Features

Quickly converts volumetric flow from m³/min to ac*ft/d using the exact conversion rate.
Browser-based and easy to use with no software installation needed.
Supports flow units frequently used in water-resources and industrial applications.

Examples

5 cubic meter/minute equals 5.8371116465 acre-foot/day.
0.2 cubic meter/minute equals 0.233484466 acre-foot/day.

Common Use Cases

Balancing airflow in HVAC systems using m³/min and converting to daily water volumes.
Calculating irrigation delivery rates for agricultural water management in ac*ft/d.
Reporting reservoir inflows and withdrawals in municipal and industrial water use.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure steady flow conditions when using this conversion for accurate comparisons.
Confirm consistent time scales when reconciling minute-based and day-based units.
Use acre-foot/day for larger daily flow rates to maintain unit relevance and clarity.

Limitations

This conversion assumes steady flows and does not capture transient variations.
Acre-foot/day is better suited for daily scale measurements, limiting precision for very small flows.
Time scale differences require careful application to avoid calculation inconsistencies.
