What Is This Tool?
This unit converter allows users to transform flow rate values measured in cubic foot per second to hundred-cubic foot per hour units. It is designed to assist with various engineering, hydrological, and utility-related applications by simplifying the conversion between these imperial volumetric flow measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in cubic foot per second (ft^3/s) into the input field
-
Select the target unit as hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent flow rate
-
Review the result which displays the flow in hundred-cubic foot/hour units
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates from cubic foot/second to hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
Browser-based and easy to use with no installation required
-
Supports typical use cases in hydrology, natural gas utilities, and HVAC systems
-
Provides example conversions for quick reference
-
Uses standardized conversion factors for consistency
Examples
-
2 cubic foot/second is equal to 72 hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
0.5 cubic foot/second converts to 18 hundred-cubic foot/hour
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting river and stream discharge for hydrological studies
-
Designing and specifying pumps, pipes, and channels in irrigation and wastewater systems
-
Measuring and billing natural gas consumption for residential and small commercial customers
-
Sizing low-rate gas supplies to appliances and process equipment
-
Specifying ventilation and exhaust air flows in HVAC systems using imperial units
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the flow is steady when performing conversions for accuracy
-
Use this tool primarily for low-to-moderate flow rate applications
-
Double-check unit selection before conversion to avoid errors
-
Apply this conversion to facilitate utility billing and equipment sizing
-
Refer to example conversions to validate your input values
Limitations
-
Assumes steady state flow without accounting for temperature or pressure variations
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour unit is less appropriate for very high flow rates
-
Does not include adjustment for fluid property changes during conversion
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one cubic foot per second represent?
-
It represents a flow rate where one cubic foot of fluid passes a point every second.
-
Why convert from cubic foot/second to hundred-cubic foot/hour?
-
To translate larger volumetric flow rates into smaller, practical units used for gas flow measurement and utility billing.
-
Is hundred-cubic foot/hour suitable for all flow rates?
-
It is mainly used for low to moderate flow rates and is less common in high-flow scenarios.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic foot per second [ft^3/s]
-
An imperial unit measuring volumetric flow rate where one cubic foot of fluid moves past a point each second.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate unit denoting 100 cubic feet passing a point per hour, typically used for smaller gas or air flows.
