What Is This Tool?
This unit converter helps transform flow measurements from milliliters per second to hundred-cubic foot per hour, making it easier to compare and use flow rates across metric and imperial systems. It is useful for translating small-scale liquid or gas flows into volumetric gas flow rates for residential, medical, and industrial purposes.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in milliliter per second (mL/s)
-
Select milliliter/second as the source unit
-
Choose hundred-cubic foot/hour as the target unit
-
Click convert to get the equivalent flow rate in hundred-cubic foot per hour
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates precisely from mL/s to hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
Based on a defined conversion rate and formula provided
-
Supports applications in natural gas utility, medical, laboratory, and HVAC fields
-
Browser-based and straightforward to use with no installation required
Examples
-
10 mL/s converts to approximately 0.01271328 hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
100 mL/s converts to about 0.1271328 hundred-cubic foot/hour
Common Use Cases
-
Setting and reporting flow on syringe pumps and microfluidic equipment
-
Measuring small gas flows in respiratory and pulmonary testing
-
Monitoring natural gas consumption for residential or commercial needs
-
Sizing low-rate gas supplies for appliances and process equipment
-
Converting lab liquid flow measurements to gas flow units in industrial systems
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure understanding of whether you are measuring liquid or gas flow before converting
-
Use this converter under steady flow conditions and standard temperature and pressure
-
Cross-check flow units especially when switching between metric and imperial standards
-
Be aware that variations in gas composition or conditions may require additional adjustments
Limitations
-
The conversion presumes stable flow and standard temperature and pressure for gases
-
Differences in gas properties like composition or pressure can affect actual flow equivalence
-
Milliliter/second is typically for liquid or very small gas flows, unlike hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
Users must interpret flow context carefully to avoid misapplication of the conversion
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does milliliter per second measure?
-
Milliliter per second measures volumetric flow rate representing one milliliter of fluid passing a point every second, often used for small liquid or gas flows.
-
Where is hundred-cubic foot per hour commonly used?
-
Hundred-cubic foot per hour expresses low to moderate gas flow rates and is commonly used in utility measurement of natural gas and ventilation systems.
-
Can I use this conversion for all flow measurements?
-
This conversion is best suited for steady flows at standard conditions and may not be accurate if gas composition, temperature, or pressure varies significantly.
Key Terminology
-
Milliliter per second [mL/s]
-
A metric volumetric flow rate unit indicating one milliliter of fluid passing a point each second, used for small liquid and gas flows.
-
Hundred-cubic foot per hour [100 ft³/h]
-
An imperial volumetric flow rate unit representing 100 cubic feet passing a point every hour, commonly used for low to moderate gas flows.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The measurement of the volume of fluid which passes through a given surface per unit time.
