What Is This Tool?
This online converter helps you change flow rates measured in liter per second (L/s), a unit for small-scale volumetric flow, into hundred-cubic foot per minute, which is commonly used for larger scale airflow in HVAC and industrial settings.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in liter/second (L/s)
-
Select 'hundred-cubic foot/minute' as the target unit
-
Click convert to see the equivalent flow rate in hundred-cubic foot/minute
Key Features
-
Quickly convert volumetric flow measurements between liter/second and hundred-cubic foot/minute units
-
Browser-based tool requiring no downloads or installations
-
Supports conversions widely used in engineering, laboratory, and HVAC contexts
Examples
-
5 L/s converts to approximately 0.105944 hundred-cubic foot/minute
-
10 L/s converts to approximately 0.211888 hundred-cubic foot/minute
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring water flow from taps or small plumbing fixtures for domestic supply
-
Specifying pump flow rates in laboratories and process industries
-
Expressing ventilation rates per person in HVAC design
-
Sizing fans and industrial blowers for large ventilation systems
-
Evaluating airflow on environmental test stands
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure flow measurements are taken under standard conditions to improve accuracy
-
Use this conversion primarily for air or gas flow rather than liquids
-
Double-check units before making system sizing decisions to avoid errors
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes standard temperature and pressure without accounting for fluid compressibility
-
Hundred-cubic foot/minute unit is best suited for bulk air or gas flows, not precise liquid measurements
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does liter/second measure?
-
Liter per second (L/s) measures volumetric flow rate representing one litre of fluid passing a point every second.
-
When is hundred-cubic foot/minute used?
-
Hundred-cubic foot per minute quantifies larger air or gas volumes and is common in ventilation, HVAC, and industrial airflow assessments.
-
Can I use this conversion for liquid flow in industrial systems?
-
It’s mainly intended for air or gas flows; using it for precise liquid volumetric flow may not be suitable due to differences in fluid properties.
Key Terminology
-
Liter per second (L/s)
-
A unit measuring volumetric flow rate equal to one litre of volume passing a point each second.
-
Hundred-cubic foot per minute
-
A volumetric flow rate unit representing 100 cubic feet of fluid passing each minute, used mainly for air and gas flow.
