What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow rate values from cubic centimeters per hour, a unit used mainly for very low liquid flows, into hundred-cubic feet per hour, a unit applied to gas or air flow rates. It helps users bridge measurements across different fields such as medical infusion, microfluidics, and gas utility metering.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in cubic centimeters per hour
-
Select 'cubic centimeter/hour' as the input unit
-
Choose 'hundred-cubic foot/hour' as the output unit
-
Click convert to obtain the equivalent value in hundred-cubic foot/hour
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow from cubic centimeter/hour to hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
Supports precise low-flow rate measurements and gas flow unit conversions
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation
-
Provides unit definitions and practical use cases for clarity
Examples
-
10 cubic centimeters per hour converts to approximately 0.00000353 hundred-cubic foot per hour
-
1,000 cubic centimeters per hour converts to approximately 0.000353 hundred-cubic foot per hour
Common Use Cases
-
Calibrating medical devices that administer very low fluid infusion rates
-
Converting microfluidic and precision pump flow measurements
-
Reporting small natural gas consumption for residential or commercial monitoring
-
Sizing ventilation or exhaust system flows in imperial units
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure input values represent steady volumetric flow rates for accuracy
-
Use this tool to translate liquid flow rates to airborne or gas flow units for cross-disciplinary applications
-
Verify the appropriateness of units based on fluid type (liquid vs gas) before conversion
Limitations
-
Converted values are extremely small due to scale differences between units
-
High-precision measurement instruments may be necessary for practical use
-
Differences in fluid properties between liquids and gases can affect measurement applicability
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one cubic centimeter per hour represent?
-
It denotes a volumetric flow of one cubic centimeter or one milliliter of fluid per hour, mainly used for measuring very low steady liquid flows.
-
When is hundred-cubic foot per hour used?
-
It is used to express lower to moderate gas or air flow rates, commonly in utility gas metering, ventilation, and industrial gas flow monitoring.
-
Can this conversion be used for both liquid and gas flows?
-
The units apply to liquid flows (cubic centimeter/hour) and gas flows (hundred-cubic foot/hour) respectively, but differences in fluid type can influence measurement results.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic centimeter/hour
-
A unit representing one cubic centimeter (or one milliliter) of fluid passing per hour, used for very low flow rates.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
A volumetric flow unit equal to one hundred cubic feet per hour, commonly used to measure low to moderate gas or air flow rates.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid passing through a point per unit of time.
