Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic foot/hour measure?
-
Cubic foot/hour measures the volume of fluid passing through a point in one hour expressed in cubic feet.
-
When should I use cubic centimeter/hour units?
-
Use cubic centimeter/hour for quantifying very low steady flow rates, such as in medical infusion pumps or microfluidic experiments.
-
Does this conversion consider fluid characteristics like viscosity?
-
No, this unit conversion only changes volumetric flow units and does not account for fluid properties such as viscosity or compressibility.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic foot/hour [ft^3/h]
-
A volumetric flow unit indicating one cubic foot of fluid passing through a cross-section per hour.
-
Cubic centimeter/hour
-
A volumetric flow unit representing one cubic centimeter of fluid passing through per hour, often used for very low flows.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The quantity of fluid volume passing through a given point or area per unit time.
