What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to transform flow measurements from cubic foot per second, an imperial unit used in fluid discharge and hydrology, into hundred-cubic foot per minute, commonly applied in ventilation and industrial airflow contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value you want to convert in cubic foot per second (ft^3/s).
-
Select hundred-cubic foot per minute as the target unit.
-
Use the tool to calculate the equivalent flow rate based on the conversion formula.
-
Review the result and apply it to your design or analysis needs.
Key Features
-
Converts flow units between cubic foot/second and hundred-cubic foot/minute.
-
Provides clear, practical examples for reference.
-
Supports applications in engineering, hydrology, HVAC, and industrial systems.
-
Browser-based and easy to use without any installation.
Examples
-
2 Cubic foot/second equals 1.2 Hundred-cubic foot/minute.
-
5 Cubic foot/second equals 3 Hundred-cubic foot/minute.
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting river and stream discharge in hydrology and flood forecasting.
-
Designing pumps, pipes, and channels for irrigation and wastewater management.
-
Specifying fan and HVAC system capacities for large buildings.
-
Sizing industrial blowers and ductwork for process ventilation.
-
Measuring airflow for environmental control and test stands.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always consider the difference in time scale and volume between the units during conversion.
-
Use the converter for steady flow conditions to ensure meaningful results.
-
Verify converted values against system requirements in ventilation or hydrology.
-
Apply conversions carefully when dealing with transient or pulsatile flows.
Limitations
-
Units differ in time scales (seconds vs. minutes) and volume size (single vs. hundred cubic feet), requiring context awareness.
-
Assumes steady flow; fluctuating flow conditions may need additional analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic foot per second measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate as one cubic foot of fluid passing a point every second, commonly used in hydrology and fluid discharge.
-
Where is hundred-cubic foot per minute typically used?
-
This unit quantifies bulk air or gas flow, mainly employed in ventilation, HVAC, and industrial airflow applications.
-
How do I perform the conversion manually?
-
Multiply the cubic foot per second value by 0.6 to get the equivalent in hundred-cubic foot per minute.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic foot per second (ft^3/s)
-
An imperial unit measuring the volume of fluid passing a point each second, used mainly in hydrology and engineering.
-
Hundred-cubic foot per minute
-
A volumetric flow unit representing 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point per minute, used mainly for ventilation and industrial airflow.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The quantity of fluid volume passing through a given surface per unit time.
