Requires attention to unit consistency for reliable results
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does hundred-cubic foot per minute measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate as 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point each minute, commonly used for airflow volumes.
-
Why convert hundred-cubic foot/minute to liter/second?
-
Converting to liter/second allows expressing flow rates in SI units widely used in engineering, laboratory, and HVAC applications for compatibility and clarity.
-
Can this conversion be used for compressible gas flows?
-
No, this conversion does not account for changes in gas density, so additional corrections are needed for compressible gas flow calculations.
Key Terminology
-
Hundred-cubic foot/minute
-
A volumetric flow rate unit equal to 100 cubic feet of fluid passing per minute, used primarily to measure air or gas flow in HVAC and industrial applications.
-
Liter/second [L/s]
-
A unit of volumetric flow rate representing one liter passing through a point each second, common in engineering and laboratory measurements.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The quantity of fluid passing through a cross-section per unit time, typically measured in units like cubic feet per minute or liters per second.
