Common Use Cases
-
Utility measurement and reporting of natural gas consumption for residential or small commercial customers.
-
Sizing and monitoring of low-rate gas supplies to burners, pilot lines, or process equipment.
-
Expressing daily volumes for municipal water supply and treatment plants.
-
Specifying industrial process or cooling water throughput on a daily basis.
-
Reporting hydrocarbon field production or delivery volumes in metric units.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure input values accurately represent the hourly flow rate before conversion.
-
Use this tool for flows typically categorized as low-to-moderate gas or air volumes.
-
Verify unit selections to match the measurement context.
-
Apply the daily flow rate results to facilitate comparison across metric reporting standards.
-
Consider the regional context since hundred-cubic foot/hour is primarily used where imperial units prevail.
Limitations
-
The hundred-cubic foot/hour unit is mainly used in regions utilizing imperial measures and may be unfamiliar elsewhere.
-
Conversion requires mindful handling of the time basis difference between hourly and daily rates.
-
Scientific and engineering calculations require attention to conversion precision and unit consistency.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one hundred-cubic foot/hour represent?
-
It represents a volumetric flow rate where 100 cubic feet of fluid passes a point each hour, often used for low-to-moderate gas or air flow measurements.
-
Why convert hundred-cubic foot/hour to cubic meter/day?
-
Converting allows expressing flow rates in metric daily volumes, which is useful for reporting in municipal water systems, industrial process control, and hydrocarbon production.
-
Is the conversion rate fixed for all values?
-
Yes, the conversion rate is based on a defined constant where 1 hundred-cubic foot/hour equals approximately 67.9604318211 cubic meter/day.
Key Terminology
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
An imperial volumetric flow unit indicating 100 cubic feet passing a point per hour, used for low-to-moderate gas and air flows.
-
Cubic meter/day [m^3/d]
-
A volumetric flow rate representing one cubic meter of fluid volume passing a point over 24 hours, commonly used in metric daily flow reporting.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
A measurement of fluid volume passing through a point per unit time, such as per hour or per day.
