What does hundred-cubic foot/hour measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate equal to 100 cubic feet passing a point each hour, commonly used in gas flow measurement.

Can I use this tool to convert from liquid flow to gas flow?

This tool converts from hundred-cubic foot/hour (gas flow) to gallon (US)/second (liquid flow) to help in comparisons, but medium differences should be considered.

Is the conversion affected by gas or liquid density?

No, this conversion assumes steady volumetric flow rates and does not account for differences in density or compressibility.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms volumetric flow rates from hundred-cubic foot/hour, a unit commonly used for measuring low-to-moderate gas flows, into gallon (US)/second, a unit representing liquid flow rates. It helps users compare and specify flow rates across different media such as natural gas and water systems.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow rate value in hundred-cubic foot/hour
Select 'hundred-cubic foot/hour' as the input unit
Choose 'gallon (US)/second' as the output unit
Click 'Convert' to view the equivalent flow rate in gallons per second

Key Features

Converts flow rates from hundred-cubic foot/hour to gallon (US)/second accurately based on established rates
Supports comparisons between gas and liquid volumetric flows for various applications
Browser-based and user-friendly unit conversion process
Typical use in natural gas metering, firefighting pump specifications, and irrigation design

Examples

Convert 5 hundred-cubic foot/hour to gallon (US)/second: 5 × 0.2077922078 = 1.038961039 gallon (US)/second
Convert 10 hundred-cubic foot/hour to gallon (US)/second: 10 × 0.2077922078 = 2.077922078 gallon (US)/second

Common Use Cases

Reporting natural gas consumption for residential and small commercial users
Sizing gas supplies for appliances, burners, and pilot lines
Monitoring ventilation and exhaust flows in imperial units
Specifying pump discharge rates in firefighting and irrigation systems
Measuring flow in industrial water lines and short liquid transfer operations

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure you understand the flow medium since hundred-cubic foot/hour typically applies to gases and gallon (US)/second to liquids
Use the conversion for steady flow conditions as variations in density or compressibility are not considered
Cross-check units when dealing with mixed media to apply the appropriate volumetric flow values
Leverage this tool for preliminary flow rate comparisons when designing gas or liquid systems

Limitations

Conversion assumes steady volumetric flow without accounting for differences in gas or liquid properties like density
Hundred-cubic foot/hour is suited for low-to-moderate gas flows; gallon (US)/second fits higher-volume liquid flows, so direct equivalence might not reflect physical conditions
Does not consider compressibility or other fluid dynamic factors during conversions
