What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to convert volumetric flow rates measured in cubic inch per second (in^3/s) into hundred-cubic foot per minute, helping translate small-scale flow measurements into larger-scale HVAC and ventilation units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in cubic inch per second (in^3/s)
-
Select 'cubic inch/second' as the from-unit and 'hundred-cubic foot/minute' as the to-unit
-
Click the convert button to get the result
-
Review the converted value and use it for your HVAC or industrial ventilation needs
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates from cubic inch per second to hundred-cubic foot per minute
-
Useful for HVAC, industrial ventilation, and environmental control applications
-
Browser-based and easy to use
-
Supports precise small to large scale flow conversions
-
Provides examples for quick understanding
Examples
-
Convert 10 cubic inch/second: 10 in³/s equals 0.003472222 hundred-cubic foot/minute
-
Convert 100 cubic inch/second: 100 in³/s equals 0.03472222 hundred-cubic foot/minute
Common Use Cases
-
Determining small liquid flow rates in hydraulic and miniature pump systems
-
Calculating dispensing rates for adhesives, lubricants, or inks in manufacturing
-
Measuring airflow in pneumatic, vacuum, or HVAC components using imperial units
-
Specifying HVAC fan supply and exhaust capacities for large buildings
-
Sizing industrial blowers and ductwork for ventilation
-
Assessing airflow on test stands or environmental control equipment
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure consistent unit standards when measuring and converting flow rates
-
Consider the small decimal values involved when converting from cubic inch/second to hundred-cubic foot/minute
-
Use the conversion primarily for incompressible flows, as temperature and pressure variations are not accounted for
-
Leverage example conversions to verify your inputs and outputs
-
Validate results against known system requirements for HVAC and industrial applications
Limitations
-
Conversion accuracy relies on standard unit definitions and consistent measurement conditions
-
Small flow volumes in cubic inch/second convert to very small decimal values in hundred-cubic foot/minute, which may introduce rounding issues
-
Assumes incompressible flow without accounting for temperature or pressure effects on volumetric rate
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 every second.
-
Where is hundred-cubic foot per minute used?
-
It is commonly used to measure large-scale air or gas flow rates in HVAC and industrial ventilation.
-
Can this converter account for temperature or pressure changes?
-
No, it assumes incompressible flow and does not adjust for temperature or pressure variations.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic inch per second (in^3/s)
-
A unit of volumetric flow rate representing one cubic inch of volume passing a point every second.
-
Hundred-cubic foot per minute
-
A volumetric flow rate unit representing 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point each minute, common in HVAC and industrial contexts.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The measure of volume of fluid which passes through a given surface per unit time.
