What Is This Tool?
This online converter transforms flow measurements from ounce (UK)/minute, a small imperial volumetric flow, into acre-foot/day [ac*ft/d], a large-scale unit used in water resource and hydraulic engineering.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in ounce (UK)/minute you want to convert.
-
Select ounce (UK)/minute as the input unit.
-
Choose acre-foot/day [ac*ft/d] as the output unit.
-
Click convert to get the equivalent flow rate in acre-foot/day.
Key Features
-
Converts small volumetric flow rates from ounce (UK)/minute to acre-foot/day [ac*ft/d].
-
Browser-based tool for easy and quick conversions.
-
Supports applications in irrigation, water management, and industrial water use.
-
Provides conversion based on official unit definitions and rates.
Examples
-
10 ounce (UK)/minute equals 0.0003317 acre-foot/day.
-
100 ounce (UK)/minute translates to 0.003317 acre-foot/day.
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring low liquid dispensing rates with imperial units.
-
Calibrating dosing pumps in labs or industrial settings using imperial volumes.
-
Planning irrigation delivery rates for agricultural districts.
-
Reporting reservoir and river flow in water resource management.
-
Accounting for municipal or industrial surface water withdrawals.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure input values are within a reasonable range given the small scale of ounce (UK)/minute.
-
Use this conversion primarily when bridging low flow measurements to large-scale water management units.
-
Consider the scale of application to avoid misinterpreting the converted results.
-
Verify units carefully when applying results to engineering or resource planning.
Limitations
-
Converting very small flow rates to large-scale units can lead to limited precision.
-
Acre-foot/day is intended for large volumetric flows and daily totals, making it less suitable for very low flow data interpretation.
-
Results should be contextualized within appropriate application scenarios to prevent misrepresentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one ounce (UK)/minute represent?
-
It represents one UK fluid ounce of volume passing a point every minute, equaling approximately 28.413 millilitres per minute.
-
Where is acre-foot/day typically used?
-
Acre-foot/day is used in water resource management, irrigation delivery for agriculture, hydraulic engineering, and for measuring reservoir or river flows.
-
Why convert from ounce (UK)/minute to acre-foot/day?
-
To translate small volumetric flow measurements used in imperial units into large-scale flow units relevant for agricultural and water resource planning.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/minute
-
A volumetric flow unit representing one UK fluid ounce passing a point each minute, used for low flow rate measurements in imperial units.
-
Acre-foot/day
-
A flow rate unit equal to one acre-foot of volume delivered or removed per day, commonly used in water resource management.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid which passes through a given surface per unit time.
