What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to change measurements from hundred-cubic foot/hour, a volumetric flow rate commonly used for gas or air, into liter/hour, a unit measuring liquid flow rates. It supports applications in utilities, engine fuel consumption, chemical dosing, and more, helping translate imperial gas flow units into metric liquid flow units.

-
0.5 hundred-cubic foot/hour is equivalent to 1415.8423296059 liter/hour.
Common Use Cases
-
Utility measurement and reporting of natural gas consumption for residential or small commercial customers.
-
Sizing and monitoring low-rate gas supplies to appliances, burners, or pilot lines.
-
Specifying fuel consumption of small engines, portable generators, and boats in liters per hour.
-
Dosing and metering chemicals or fertilizers in agricultural or industrial settings.
-
Controlling low-to-moderate liquid flows in laboratory and small-scale industrial processes.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure you understand the difference between gas and liquid flow properties before converting.
-
Use the tool for volumetric flow rate conversions only, as it does not account for fluid density or compressibility.
-
Double-check examples to confirm input values and conversion accuracy.
-
Apply conversions carefully when integrating with systems that monitor gases and liquids simultaneously.
-
Use this tool in contexts like ventilation design or fuel consumption analysis for consistent unit management.
Limitations
-
This conversion is volumetric and does not consider differences in fluid properties such as compressibility or density.
-
Caution is advised when converting from gas flow to liquid flow due to possible environmental and physical variations affecting accuracy.
-
Not suitable for calculations requiring precise thermodynamic or fluid dynamic properties.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does hundred-cubic foot/hour measure?
-
It is a volumetric flow rate describing 100 cubic feet of gas or air passing a point each hour, commonly used for low to moderate gas flow rates.
-
Why convert hundred-cubic foot/hour to liter/hour?
-
Converting allows users to translate gas flow rates measured in imperial units into liquid flow rates in metric units, facilitating integration with liquid process control systems.
-
Does this conversion consider fluid density or pressure?
-
No, the conversion is strictly volumetric and does not account for properties like density or compressibility, which may affect flow behavior.
Key Terminology
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate equal to 100 cubic feet passing a point each hour, typically used for gas or air flows.
-
Liter/hour (L/h)
-
A unit measuring the volume of liquid passing a point per hour, used for low to moderate continuous liquid flow rates.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
A measurement of the volume of fluid passing through a point per unit time.
