What does gallon (UK)/minute measure?

Gallon (UK)/minute measures volumetric flow rate defined as the number of UK imperial gallons passing a point each minute, often used in engineering and plumbing.

What is an acre-foot/hour used for?

An acre-foot/hour quantifies a large volumetric flow rate equal to one acre-foot of water passing per hour, useful in water resource management and large-scale irrigation projects.

Why would I convert gallon (UK)/minute to acre-foot/hour?

This conversion allows translating small-scale, imperial flow measurements into larger volumetric flow rates relevant for regional water management and infrastructure planning.

Examples

Convert 10 gallon (UK)/minute to acre-foot/hour resulting in 0.002211336 acre-foot/hour.
Convert 100 gallon (UK)/minute to acre-foot/hour resulting in 0.02211336 acre-foot/hour.

Common Use Cases

Specifying water supply pump and hose capacities in regions using imperial units.
Designing and rating domestic and commercial plumbing and irrigation systems.
Reporting reservoir release or diversion rates in hydrology and water resource management.
Sizing large-scale irrigation canals and municipal water supply transfer projects.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this tool to accurately translate small-scale imperial flow units to large-scale volumetric rates.
Apply the conversion primarily for water flow measurements to maintain relevance.
Ensure the input value falls within typical flow ranges for effective results.
Combine with other unit conversions when working in metric-exclusive regions.

Limitations

The conversion is most appropriate when scaling from smaller to much larger flow volumes.
Accuracy may decrease outside conventional flow ranges or with fluids other than water.
Imperial-based units restrict applicability in metric-only regions, possibly requiring extra conversions.
