What Is This Tool?
This tool allows users to convert volumetric flow rates from liter per second (L/s), a metric unit commonly used in fluid flow and ventilation, to hundred-cubic foot per hour, an imperial unit often used for reporting gas flow rates. It is suitable for various applications including plumbing, HVAC, natural gas metering, and laboratory processes.
How to Use This Tool?

Apply the converted results for comparative analysis or system design purposes
Limitations
-
Conversions assume volumetric flow without correcting for temperature or pressure variations
-
Accuracy depends on consistent measurement conditions especially for gas flows
-
Tool is focused on these specific units and does not support other flow units
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one liter per second represent?
-
It represents a volumetric flow rate where one litre of fluid passes through a cross-section every second.
-
Why convert from liter/second to hundred-cubic foot/hour?
-
To translate flow measurements from metric units used in fluids and ventilation into imperial units commonly used for gas flow and utility metering.
-
Are there any factors affecting the accuracy of this conversion?
-
Yes, temperature and pressure conditions can affect volumetric flow rates, so consistent conditions are important when applying this conversion.
Key Terminology
-
Liter per second (L/s)
-
A volumetric flow unit representing one litre passing a cross section every second, commonly used in engineering and laboratory fluid flow measurements.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
A flow rate unit representing 100 cubic feet passing a point each hour, often used for measuring gas flow rates in residential and commercial utilities.
