What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to change flow measurements from gallon (US) per second, a common unit for large liquid volumes, to hundred-cubic foot per hour, used primarily for smaller gas flow rates. It supports industries requiring integration of liquid and gas flow data.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in gallon (US) per second
-
Select hundred-cubic foot per hour as the target unit
-
Click convert to see the equivalent flow rate
-
Refer to examples for validation or practical understanding
-
Use the result to support engineering or operational decisions
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates between gallon (US)/second and hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
Supports measurement scenarios across liquid and gas flow applications
-
Browser-based and easy to use for quick unit conversion
-
Includes practical examples to guide users
-
Facilitates comparison of flow rates in firefighting, irrigation, gas metering, and HVAC
Examples
-
2 gallon (US)/second = 9.625 hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
0.5 gallon (US)/second = 2.40625 hundred-cubic foot/hour
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring high-capacity pump and irrigation system discharges
-
Reporting and monitoring natural gas consumption for residential use
-
Sizing low-rate gas supplies for appliances or pilot lines
-
Converting liquid volumetric flow data to gas flow rate contexts
-
Designing ventilation and exhaust systems in HVAC with imperial units
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this converter to reconcile differences between liquid and gas flow units
-
Confirm flow conditions match standard volume definitions before conversion
-
Be cautious about applying results in cases with differing temperature or pressure
-
Consider medium properties as this tool does not account for density or compressibility
-
Validate converted results through practical measurement or industry standards
Limitations
-
Measures different mediums—liquid vs gas—without adjusting for density or compressibility
-
Does not compensate for temperature and pressure variations critical in gas flow
-
Assumes standard volume definitions which may not fit all real-world conditions
-
Unsuitable for flows with significant deviations from ideal volumetric behavior
-
Conversion is strictly volumetric and may not reflect mass or energy flow
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can this converter be used for both liquid and gas flow measurements?
-
Yes, it converts volumetric flow rates between units typically used for liquids and gases, but be aware it does not adjust for differences like density or compressibility between these mediums.
-
Why is temperature and pressure not considered in this conversion?
-
The conversion is based on standard volumetric units and does not factor temperature and pressure, which are crucial for accurate gas flow measurements.
-
What are common applications for converting gallon (US)/second to hundred-cubic foot/hour?
-
This conversion is useful in firefighting pump flow rates, irrigation system measurement, natural gas utility metering, and HVAC ventilation design settings.
Key Terminology
-
Gallon (US)/second
-
A volumetric flow rate indicating one U.S. liquid gallon passing a point each second, used for large liquid volume measurement.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate unit showing 100 cubic feet passing a point each hour, commonly applied in measuring low-to-moderate gas flows.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The volume of fluid passing through a point per unit time, without correction for fluid density or pressure.
