Suitable only for volumetric flow rates with uniform flow over time
-
Does not account for variations in temperature and pressure affecting fluid volume
-
Not recommended for non-continuous or fluctuating flow measurements without adjustment
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one hundred-cubic foot/day represent?
-
It represents a flow rate of 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point in one day, commonly used for small continuous gas or liquid flows.
-
Why convert hundred-cubic foot/day to cubic yard/hour?
-
Converting to cubic yard/hour gives an hourly volumetric measurement that is more practical for engineering operations like pump rates and material handling.
-
Can this conversion be used for all flow conditions?
-
No, it is only suitable for uniform and continuous flow rates; variable flows or conditions affected by temperature or pressure require additional considerations.
Key Terminology
-
Hundred-cubic foot/day
