What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow rate values from hundred-cubic foot per hour, a measure commonly used for gas volumes, into gallon (UK) per hour, a liquid flow rate unit based on the UK imperial system. It supports users needing accurate unit transformation for utility, industrial, and agricultural applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in hundred-cubic foot/hour you wish to convert
-
Select the output unit as gallon (UK)/hour [gal (UK)/h]
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent flow rate
-
Use the result for specifying or reporting flow rates in your application
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow from hundred-cubic foot/hour to gallon (UK)/hour
-
Supports flow rates relevant to gas consumption and liquid dosing
-
User-friendly and accessible online interface
-
Accurate conversion factor based on standard definitions
-
Applicable for utility reporting, ventilation, water treatment, and fuel monitoring
Examples
-
1 hundred-cubic foot/hour equals approximately 622.88 gal (UK)/h
-
0.5 hundred-cubic foot/hour equals approximately 311.44 gal (UK)/h
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring and reporting natural gas flows for residential or commercial customers
-
Sizing low-rate gas supplies for burners and process equipment
-
Specifying ventilation exhaust rates using imperial units
-
Chemical dosing and pump rate specification in UK water treatment systems
-
Reporting small equipment fuel or lubricant consumption
-
Expressing drip irrigation or condensate flows in imperial gallons per hour
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify flow conditions since gas and liquid flows differ with temperature and pressure
-
Use the tool to facilitate unit compatibility in engineering and utility reports
-
Cross-check conversion results when applying to critical process controls
-
Be aware of the difference in fluid properties when converting between gas and liquid volumes
Limitations
-
Be cautious converting between gas flow (hundred-cubic foot/hour) and liquid flow (gallon UK/hour) due to factors like pressure, temperature, and compressibility
-
Field applications may round the conversion factor depending on instrument sensitivity
-
The tool does not account for fluid-specific corrections or dynamic flow variations
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does hundred-cubic foot/hour measure?
-
It measures a volumetric gas flow rate of 100 cubic feet passing a point per hour, commonly used for low-to-moderate gas flows.
-
What is a gallon (UK)/hour unit?
-
It is a volumetric flow rate unit representing one UK gallon of fluid per hour, where one UK gallon equals 4.54609 liters.
-
Can I directly compare gas flow in hundred-cubic foot/hour to liquid flow in gallon (UK)/hour?
-
Care must be taken because gas and liquid flows behave differently, and factors like temperature and pressure affect equivalence in practice.
Key Terminology
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour
