What does milliliter per second measure?

Milliliter per second (mL/s) measures volumetric flow rate indicating how many milliliters of fluid pass a point per second, often used for small-scale fluid measurements.

Why convert milliliter/second to acre-foot/year?

This conversion helps translate precise small-flow measurements into large-scale water volumes useful for water resource planning and agricultural management.

Are there any assumptions made in this conversion?

Yes, the conversion assumes a steady flow rate maintained continuously for one year, which may not reflect real-world fluctuating conditions.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter helps you translate flow rates measured in milliliters per second into acre-feet per year. It bridges small-scale volumetric flow measurements common in scientific and engineering fields with larger-scale water flow units used in environmental and agricultural management.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow rate value in milliliters per second [mL/s].
Select milliliter/second as the input unit and acre-foot/year as the output unit.
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent flow rate in acre-feet per year.

Key Features

Converts precisely from milliliter/second (mL/s) to acre-foot/year (ac*ft/y).
Supports volumetric flow rate conversions used in laboratory, medical, and water resource fields.
Browser-based and simple to use without needing specialized software.

Examples

5 mL/s converts to approximately 0.1278 ac*ft/y.
10 mL/s converts to approximately 0.2557 ac*ft/y.

Common Use Cases

Converting syringe pump or microfluidic device flow rates into large-scale water usage metrics.
Calculating water delivery volumes for irrigation and reservoir planning over a year.
Translating small airflow or liquid flows from medical testing into environmental water flow quantities.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure steady flow assumptions apply when converting to acre-foot/year for accuracy.
Perform intermediate conversions if dealing with flow rates that fall between very small and large scales.
Calibrate instruments regularly to maintain measurement precision in milliliter/second readings.

Limitations

Conversion assumes constant flow over an entire year and may not reflect variable or intermittent conditions.
Milliliter/second measures very small flow rates while acre-foot/year suits large volumes, so direct conversions might not always be practical.
Measurement accuracy can be influenced by device calibration and environmental factors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does milliliter per second measure?: Milliliter per second (mL/s) measures volumetric flow rate indicating how many milliliters of fluid pass a point per second, often used for small-scale fluid measurements.
Why convert milliliter/second to acre-foot/year?: This conversion helps translate precise small-flow measurements into large-scale water volumes useful for water resource planning and agricultural management.

Key Terminology

Milliliter/second [mL/s]: A metric unit of volumetric flow rate representing one milliliter of fluid passing a point each second, used for small liquid or gas flows.
Acre-foot/year [ac*ft/y]: A flow rate equal to one acre-foot of volume delivered or used over one year; one acre-foot is the volume covering an acre of land one foot deep in water.
Conversion Rate: The fixed factor used to convert values from milliliter/second to acre-foot/year is 1 mL/s = 0.025566549 ac*ft/y.
