What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to convert volumetric flow rates from hundred-cubic foot per day to gallon (US) per second. It is ideal for comparing flow rates used in various fields such as natural gas production, water treatment, and industrial process management.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in hundred-cubic foot per day.
-
Select the unit as hundred-cubic foot/day for the input and gallon (US)/second for the output.
-
Click convert to get the corresponding flow rate in gallon (US)/second.
Key Features
-
Converts small-scale volumetric flow rates commonly expressed in hundred-cubic foot/day to gallon (US)/second.
-
Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick conversions.
-
Supports applications in natural gas, water, wastewater, and industrial engineering.
Examples
-
100 hundred-cubic foot/day equals 0.8658 gallon (US)/second.
-
50 hundred-cubic foot/day converts to 0.4329 gallon (US)/second.
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting small natural gas well output or distribution pipeline production rates.
-
Expressing residential or commercial gas consumption at a utility scale.
-
Designing irrigation, firefighting, and industrial water pumping systems.
-
Planning wastewater influent rates in environmental engineering.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure flow rates represent steady conditions for accurate conversions.
-
Use hundred-cubic foot/day for small continuous flows and gallon (US)/second for larger liquid flows to maintain context relevance.
-
Consider the nature of the fluid when interpreting results, especially if temperature or pressure varies.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes steady flow without accounting for temperature, pressure, or fluid compressibility effects.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/day is suited for small flow volumes, whereas gallon (US)/second matches larger flow scales; comparing vastly different flow magnitudes requires caution.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a hundred-cubic foot per day?
-
It is a volumetric flow unit expressing 100 cubic feet of fluid flowing past a point in one day, commonly used for small gas or liquid flows.
-
What does gallon (US) per second measure?
-
This unit measures volumetric flow indicating one U.S. liquid gallon passing a point every second, typically used for larger liquid flow rates.
-
Can this tool be used for compressible fluids?
-
This converter assumes steady flow rates and does not account for compressibility, so adjustments might be needed for such fluids.
Key Terminology
-
Hundred-cubic foot/day
-
A flow rate representing 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point in one day, used for small-scale gas and liquid flows.
-
Gallon (US)/second
-
A volumetric flow unit showing one U.S. liquid gallon flowing per second, often applied in water and industrial systems.
