Examples
-
Convert 5 cubic inch/second: 5 × 0.0208333333 = 0.1041666665 hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
Convert 10 cubic inch/second: 10 × 0.0208333333 = 0.208333333 hundred-cubic foot/hour
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring small liquid flow rates in hydraulic and pump systems
-
Monitoring natural gas consumption for residential and commercial users
-
Sizing low-rate gas supplies for appliances and burners
-
Specifying ventilation and exhaust rates in industrial HVAC systems
-
Reporting leak or airflow volumes in pneumatic and vacuum equipment
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the flow is steady before applying the conversion
-
Use this conversion mainly for gas flows or low-volume ventilation
-
Verify units carefully when reporting to avoid misinterpretation
-
Use the tool to assist with monitoring and sizing small flow rates
-
Remember the conversion does not adjust for temperature or pressure changes
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes steady volumetric flow without accounting for compressibility
-
Does not factor in temperature or pressure variations impacting flow
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour is mainly applicable to gas flows, not ideal for precise liquid flows
-
May not be suitable for high-pressure or high-accuracy measurements
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic inch per second measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate as the volume of one cubic inch passing a point each second, often used for small liquid flows in imperial units.
-
Where is hundred-cubic foot per hour commonly used?
-
This unit is commonly used to express low to moderate gas or air flow rates, such as in natural gas utilities and ventilation systems.
-
Does this conversion account for temperature or pressure changes?
-
No, the conversion assumes steady volumetric flow and does not include adjustments for temperature or pressure variations.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic inch/second [in^3/s]
-
A unit of volumetric flow rate representing one cubic inch of fluid passing a point each second, used for small liquid flows in imperial units.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate equal to 100 cubic feet per hour, used primarily for measuring low to moderate gas or air flows.
