Conversion assumes volumetric equivalence under standard conditions without property adjustments
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does hundred-cubic foot/hour measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate as 100 cubic feet passing a point each hour, often used for low-to-moderate gas or air flows.
-
Why convert hundred-cubic foot/hour to barrel (US)/second?
-
This conversion aligns gas flow units commonly used in utilities with liquid flow units used in petroleum industries, aiding monitoring and reporting.
-
Are the conversions accurate for all flow conditions?
-
The conversions are accurate primarily for steady, incompressible flows and assume standard conditions, not accounting for fluid property variations.
Key Terminology
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate representing 100 cubic feet passing a point each hour, typically used for gas flows.
-
Barrel (US)/second
-
A volumetric flow rate equal to one US oil barrel passing a point per second; one US barrel is exactly 42 US gallons.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid passing through a point per unit of time, such as cubic feet per hour or barrels per second.
