What Is This Tool?
This converter allows users to convert flow rates measured in cubic centimeters per hour, a unit for very low steady flows, into hundred-cubic foot per minute, a unit used for bulk air or gas flow typically in HVAC and industrial settings.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in cubic centimeters per hour
-
Select 'cubic centimeter/hour' as the source unit and 'hundred-cubic foot/minute' as the target unit
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent flow rate in hundred-cubic foot per minute
Key Features
-
Converts between very low volumetric flow rates and large-scale airflow units
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation
-
Provides seamless translation for medical, microfluidic, and ventilation system measurements
Examples
-
100 cubic centimeters/hour equals approximately 5.8857777868903e-7 hundred-cubic foot/minute
-
1,000 cubic centimeters/hour equals approximately 5.8857777868903e-6 hundred-cubic foot/minute
Common Use Cases
-
Setting and reporting very low infusion rates in medical pumps such as neonatal or drug microdosing devices
-
Specifying flow rates in microfluidic experiments and precision syringe or peristaltic pumps
-
Measuring airflow rates in industrial ventilation, HVAC systems, and environmental control setups
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure accuracy by entering precise input values in cubic centimeters per hour
-
Use this conversion primarily for comparing vastly different flow rate scales rather than for direct control or equivalence
-
Keep in mind the practical context when interpreting very small decimal results after conversion
Limitations
-
Conversion results may include extremely small decimal values that can be affected by rounding errors
-
The scale difference between cubic centimeter/hour and hundred-cubic foot/minute is very large, so the conversion is suitable mostly for context comparison
-
Not intended for controlling flow by directly exchanging these units due to scale differences
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one cubic centimeter per hour represent?
-
It represents a volumetric flow rate where one cubic centimeter (or milliliter) of fluid passes per hour, commonly used to measure very low steady flows.
-
In which industries is the hundred-cubic foot per minute unit commonly used?
-
It is widely used in ventilation, HVAC, and industrial applications to quantify large-scale airflow or gas flow.
-
Why might conversion results be very small decimal numbers?
-
Because cubic centimeter per hour measures extremely low flow rates compared to the large airflow scale of hundred-cubic foot per minute, resulting values can be very small decimals.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic centimeter/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate unit that denotes one cubic centimeter of fluid passing per hour, used for measuring very low steady flows.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/minute
-
A unit representing 100 cubic feet of fluid flowing per minute, used to measure large-scale airflow in HVAC and industrial systems.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The quantity of fluid volume passing through a given surface per unit of time.
