Assumes continuous and stable volumetric flow without interruptions
-
Does not consider fluid density or compressibility effects
-
Measurement precision and real-world flow variability can affect accuracy
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does liter/day measure?
-
Liter per day measures the volume of fluid moved or delivered in liters over a full day, commonly used for reporting daily fluid flows.
-
Why convert liter/day to cubic centimeter/hour?
-
Converting to cubic centimeter/hour provides a finer, hourly flow measurement useful for applications requiring precise fluid delivery control.
-
Can this conversion be used for varying flow rates?
-
The conversion assumes steady, continuous flow and may not account for variability or interruptions in practical scenarios.
Key Terminology
-
Liter/day [L/d]
-
A volumetric flow rate unit indicating the volume of fluid in liters moved per day.
-
Cubic centimeter/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate unit showing the volume of one cubic centimeter of fluid passing per hour.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The quantity of fluid volume passing through a surface or point per unit time.
