What Is This Tool?
This tool converts flow measurements from hundred-cubic foot per day, a unit used for volumetric flow rates, to ounce per hour (oz/h), which represents the quantity of mass or volume delivered each hour. It is designed for users who need to translate relatively small continuous flows into hourly dosing or dispensing units commonly found in various engineering, laboratory, and industrial contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in hundred-cubic foot per day into the input field.
-
Select the target unit as ounce per hour (oz/h).
-
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent flow in oz/h.
-
Review the output and use it for applications like laboratory dosing or industrial measurements.
Key Features
-
Converts hundred-cubic foot per day to ounce per hour accurately using the standard conversion rate.
-
Supports flow measurement units relevant to engineering, natural gas, water treatment, and laboratory dosing.
-
Browser-based and easy to use with no installation required.
-
Provides clear examples to assist with typical conversions.
-
Helps in planning and reporting for small gas production and metered flow rates.
Examples
-
1 hundred-cubic foot/day equals approximately 3989.61 ounce/hour (oz/h).
-
0.5 hundred-cubic foot/day equals about 1994.80 ounce/hour (oz/h).
Common Use Cases
-
Monitoring small natural gas well or pipeline production rates.
-
Expressing utility-scale gas consumption for residential or commercial use.
-
Calculating groundwater pump or wastewater influent flows in engineering projects.
-
Volumetric dispensing of beverages and syrups in fountain machines and bar equipment.
-
Low-rate liquid dosing in laboratory syringe pumps and chemical dosing systems.
-
Measuring small leak or feed rates for oils, fuels, or powders in manufacturing.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure to clarify whether the ounce refers to mass or fluid volume before applying this conversion.
-
Use this tool for steady flow rates rather than variable or pulsatile flows.
-
Consider fluid properties like density and temperature separately as they are not accounted for in this converter.
-
Double-check conversion outputs when used for precise dosing or chemical applications.
Limitations
-
The ounce unit can represent either mass or fluid ounces, so consistency in units is essential.
-
This converter assumes steady, continuous flow and may not be accurate for fluctuating or pulsatile flows.
-
Differences in fluid properties such as density and temperature are not incorporated in this conversion.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does hundred-cubic foot per day measure?
-
It measures a volumetric flow rate equal to 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point in one day, commonly used for small flow rates of gases or liquids.
-
What does ounce per hour represent in this context?
-
Ounce per hour (oz/h) represents the quantity of a substance delivered or transferred each hour, where 'oz' may refer to either mass or fluid ounces.
-
Can I use this conversion for variable flow rates?
-
No, this conversion assumes steady flow and may not provide accurate results for variable or pulsatile flows.
Key Terminology
-
Hundred-cubic foot per day
-

-
Ounce per hour (oz/h)
-
A flow rate unit expressing the quantity of substance delivered or transferred per hour, with 'oz' indicating mass or fluid ounces.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid passing a point in a unit of time.
