What does 1 gallon (US)/hour represent?

It represents the volumetric flow of one US liquid gallon passing a point every hour, commonly used for fuel consumption and low flow measurements.

What is an acre-foot per hour?

An acre-foot per hour is the flow of one acre-foot of water, about 43,560 cubic feet, passing in one hour, often used in water resource management.

When should I use this conversion?

Use it to translate small-scale liquid flow rates like fuel or chemical dosing into large-scale volume flows applicable in irrigation and municipal water supply.
