What does hundred-cubic foot/hour measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate where 100 cubic feet of fluid passes a point each hour, often used for gas or air flows in utility and small commercial applications.

Why convert hundred-cubic foot/hour to cubic foot/second?

Converting to cubic foot/second expresses flow rates as instantaneous volumes per second, which is helpful for engineering design, process control, and hydrology analysis.

Can I use this converter for large flow rates?

This converter is intended for low-to-moderate flow rates; cubic foot/second is commonly used for larger flows, but very small inputs might require careful rounding.
