Hour [ac·ft/h]

Acre-foot per hour [ac·ft/h] is a unit of volumetric flow rate commonly used in hydrology, irrigation, and water resource engineering. One acre-foot represents the volume of water needed to cover one acre of land to a depth of one foot, approximately 1,233 cubic meters or 325,851 gallons. When expressed per hour, ac·ft/h measures the water volume delivered, consumed, or flowing through a system within a single hour. This unit is particularly useful for managing high-capacity water distribution systems, including canals, reservoirs, and municipal or industrial supply networks, where monitoring short-term flow is essential. For example, a hydroelectric dam releasing 10 ac·ft/h discharges enough water to cover ten acres to a depth of one foot every hour, assisting operators in controlling water levels and power generation. It is also applied in flood control, irrigation scheduling, and industrial water use where precise flow rates are critical. Compared to ac·ft/d or ac·ft/y, acre-foot per hour provides finer temporal resolution, allowing for rapid adjustments and better system management. Using ac·ft/h enables engineers and water managers to monitor, regulate, and optimize water flow, ensuring efficiency, safety, and sustainability in diverse water resource applications.

Centimeter/Hour [cm³/h]

Cubic centimeter per hour (cm³/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate that measures the volume of a fluid—liquid or gas—moving through a system over one hour. One cubic centimeter is the volume of a cube with sides of one centimeter, so cm³/h quantifies how many such small volumes flow every hour. This unit is widely used in laboratory experiments, medical infusions, chemical dosing, and precision fluid systems where very low flow rates must be accurately controlled. For example, in medical applications, intravenous medication or nutrient delivery is often regulated in cm³/h to ensure patients receive the exact required dose over time. In chemical or analytical laboratories, pumps dispensing reagents rely on cm³/h measurements for accurate reactions and experiments. Compared to cm³/d, this unit provides finer resolution for processes that require monitoring on an hourly basis, making it ideal for controlled, slow, and continuous flows. Using cubic centimeters per hour allows scientists, engineers, and technicians to measure, manage, and optimize fluid delivery with high precision, ensuring accuracy, safety, and consistency in applications where small variations can significantly affect results.
