What Is This Tool?
This online converter transforms values from cubic foot per hour (ft³/h) to gallon (US) per day (gal (US)/d), helping users translate volumetric flow rates measured hourly into daily volumes.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in cubic foot per hour that you want to convert.
-
Select the source unit as cubic foot/hour (ft³/h).
-
Choose the target unit as gallon (US)/day (gal (US)/d).
-
Click convert to obtain the equivalent daily volumetric flow in gallons.
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates from cubic foot/hour to gallon (US)/day seamlessly.
-
Supports applications in HVAC, water consumption, gas monitoring, and chemical dosing.
-
Browser-based and user-friendly interface requiring no installation.
Examples
-
2 cubic foot/hour equals approximately 359.06 gallon (US)/day.
-
0.5 cubic foot/hour converts to about 89.77 gallon (US)/day.
Common Use Cases
-
Defining ventilation or exhaust air flow rates in HVAC systems.
-
Measuring natural gas and compressed air flow in pipelines.
-
Calculating water usage or chemical dosing rates in water treatment.
-
Monitoring small-scale pumping and groundwater flow rates.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the flow rate is steady and stable for accurate conversions.
-
Consider the specific application context, such as water treatment or HVAC.
-
Verify that volumetric flow remains constant and account for limitations related to gas compressibility.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes steady flow conditions, not suited for fluctuating or pulsating flows.
-
Does not account for effects of fluid density or temperature variations.
-
Valid only when volumetric flow is constant and ignores gas compressibility factors.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic foot per hour measure?
-
It measures the volume of fluid passing a point or through a section every hour, commonly used in engineering and process flow measurements.
-
Why convert cubic foot/hour to gallon (US)/day?
-
To express flow rates in daily volumes which is helpful for water consumption reporting, chemical dosing, and small process flow monitoring.
-
Are temperature and pressure considered in this conversion?
-
No, the conversion is based on volumetric flow and does not factor in temperature or pressure changes.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic foot/hour (ft³/h)
-
A unit of volumetric flow representing one cubic foot of fluid passing a point every hour.
-
Gallon (US)/day (gal (US)/d)
-
A volumetric flow rate equal to one US liquid gallon flowing through a point each day.
