Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is cubic foot/hour used for?
-
It is a volumetric flow rate unit measuring how many cubic feet of fluid pass a point per hour, commonly used in ventilation, gas flows, and industrial system measurements.
-
Where is cubic centimeter/second commonly applied?
-
It is utilized for small flow rates in medical infusion pumps, laboratory experiments, and precise microfluidic applications.
-
Can the conversion account for changes in fluid temperature or pressure?
-
No, the conversion assumes steady flow and does not adjust for fluid property changes such as temperature or pressure.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic foot/hour (ft³/h)
-
A volumetric flow unit representing the amount of fluid passing a point equal to one cubic foot every hour.
-
Cubic centimeter/second (cm³/s)
-
A flow rate unit indicating one cubic centimeter of fluid passes a point every second, equal to one milliliter per second.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The quantity of fluid volume moving through a cross-section or point per unit time.
