What does milliliter per minute measure?

Milliliter per minute quantifies a small volumetric flow rate, indicating how many milliliters of fluid pass a point each minute, often used in medical and laboratory contexts.

Where is acre-foot per hour commonly used?

Acre-foot per hour is mainly used in water-resources management and hydrology to represent large volumetric flow rates such as reservoir releases and irrigation system capacities.

Can I use this converter for precise medical flows?

While this converter handles milliliter/minute inputs, acre-foot/hour units represent significantly larger scales and may not be suitable for precise medical flow representation.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms flow measurements from milliliter per minute, commonly used for small-scale or precise flows, into acre-foot per hour, a unit suitable for large-scale water flow rates in hydrology and water management.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow rate value in milliliters per minute into the input field
Select milliliter/minute as the input unit and acre-foot/hour as the output unit
Click the convert button to see the corresponding flow rate in acre-foot/hour
Use the result for water resource planning or laboratory data interpretation

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow units between milliliter/minute and acre-foot/hour
Supports applications ranging from laboratory settings to large water infrastructure
Easy-to-use, browser-based interface for quick conversions
Backed by precise conversion values derived from standard unit definitions

Examples

100 milliliters per minute converts to approximately 4.8643 × 10⁻⁶ acre-foot per hour
1,000 milliliters per minute converts to about 4.8643 × 10⁻⁵ acre-foot per hour

Common Use Cases

Translating infusion rates or microfluidic flows into large-scale water flow units
Reporting reservoir release or diversion rates in hydrology and water management
Sizing capacities of irrigation canals and municipal water delivery systems

Tips & Best Practices

Verify units carefully to ensure accurate conversions, especially when scaling between vastly different magnitudes
Use this conversion to relate small laboratory or medical flow measurements to water resource applications
Be cautious of rounding errors when working with very small or very large flow values

Limitations

Conversion involves very different flow magnitudes, which may limit precision
Acre-foot/hour is intended for large flows and may not represent small flow rates accurately
Potential rounding errors can affect results when converting small volumes to large units

Key Terminology

Milliliter per minute (mL/min): A volumetric flow unit indicating one milliliter of fluid passing a point each minute, used in precise or small-scale applications.
Acre-foot per hour (ac*ft/h): A volumetric flow unit equal to one acre-foot (about 1233.48 cubic meters) passing a point every hour, applied in large-scale water flow contexts.
Volumetric flow rate: The volume of fluid passing through a point or surface per unit time.
