What Is This Tool?
This tool converts volumetric flow rates from hundred-cubic foot per hour, a unit commonly used in gas flow measurements, to milliliter per second, a metric unit favored for small liquid and gas flows in laboratory and medical applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in hundred-cubic foot/hour.
-
Select the input unit as hundred-cubic foot/hour and output unit as milliliter/second [mL/s].
-
Click convert to get the equivalent value in milliliter/second.
-
Use the result for your specific gas or liquid flow application.
Key Features
-
Converts flow rates between hundred-cubic foot/hour and milliliter/second accurately.
-
Supports conversion of low-to-moderate gas flow rates to precise metric units.
-
Useful for applications in natural gas measurement, ventilation, and laboratory fluid handling.
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation.
Examples
-
2 hundred-cubic foot/hour converts to approximately 1573.16 milliliter/second.
-
0.5 hundred-cubic foot/hour converts to approximately 393.29 milliliter/second.
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring natural gas consumption for residential and small commercial customers.
-
Sizing and monitoring low-rate gas supplies for appliances and process equipment.
-
Specifying low-volume ventilation and exhaust rates using imperial units converted to metric.
-
Setting flow rates on syringe pumps and microfluidic devices.
-
Calibrating small laboratory dispensers and precision liquid-handling equipment.
-
Performing respiratory testing and pulmonary studies with small-volume airflows.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify the scale of your flow rates to ensure the units match the application requirements.
-
Use hundred-cubic foot/hour for low-to-moderate gas flow rates and milliliter/second for precise small-scale flows.
-
Consider environmental conditions like gas composition and temperature when comparing flows in different units.
-
Regularly calibrate measurement devices for accurate flow reporting.
Limitations
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour is less suitable for very high flow rates due to its scale.
-
Milliliter/second may introduce complexity if applied to larger-scale flows unnecessarily.
-
Variations in gas composition and pressure can affect volumetric flow conversions between imperial and metric units.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a hundred-cubic foot/hour unit?
-
It is a volumetric flow rate where 100 cubic feet of gas pass a point each hour, commonly used to measure low-to-moderate gas flows.
-
Why convert hundred-cubic foot/hour to milliliter/second?
-
Converting allows precise representation of small flow rates in metric units used in laboratories, medical devices, and detailed flow analyses.
-
Can this conversion be used for all types of flow rates?
-
This conversion is best suited for low-to-moderate gas flow rates; very high rates or significantly different conditions may require alternative approaches.
Key Terminology
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate equal to 100 cubic feet passing a point each hour, used for low-to-moderate gas flows.
-
Milliliter/second (mL/s)
-
A metric unit of volumetric flow rate equal to one milliliter passing a point each second, ideal for small flow measurements.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The volume of fluid passing through a point or area per unit time.
