Measurement standards may vary between gas and liquid flow systems
-
Calibration is recommended for exact engineering or research purposes
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 'hundred-cubic foot/hour' measure?
-
It measures a volumetric flow rate where 100 cubic feet of volume pass a point every hour, commonly used for gas flow rates.
-
Why convert hundred-cubic foot/hour to cubic inch/second?
-
Conversion facilitates expressing flow rates in smaller, more precise units ideal for hydraulic components, manufacturing, and ventilation systems.
-
Are flow rate conversions affected by measurement conditions?
-
Yes, the conversion assumes steady flow conditions and may not fully represent transient or fluctuating flows; calibration may be needed.
Key Terminology
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate equal to 100 cubic feet passing a point each hour, often used in gas flow measurements.
-
Cubic inch/second [in³/s]
-
A volumetric flow rate indicating one cubic inch passing a point every second, used in small liquid and gas flow measurements.
