-
Transient or fluctuating flow conditions require more detailed time-resolved data
-
Low magnitude flow rates may introduce measurement uncertainty when converted to per-second units
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does hundred-cubic foot per day measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate corresponding to 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point in one day, commonly used for small continuous flow rates of gases or liquids.
-
Why convert hundred-cubic foot/day to cubic foot/second?
-
Converting to cubic foot/second helps match smaller, daily flow measurements to faster rates needed for engineering design and real-time monitoring.
-
In which industries is this conversion particularly useful?
-
It is widely applied in natural gas distribution, water and wastewater engineering, hydrology, irrigation design, and HVAC system sizing.
Key Terminology
