What Is This Tool?
This tool converts volumetric flow rates from milliliter per second, a small-scale metric unit often used in medical and laboratory settings, to hundred-cubic foot per minute, which measures larger air or gas flow volumes commonly applied in HVAC and industrial environments.

Common Use Cases
-
Calibrating syringe pumps and microfluidic devices with precise flow rates
-
Measuring small volumetric gases in respiratory and pulmonary evaluations
-
Specifying and configuring airflow in HVAC systems for large buildings
-
Sizing blowers and ductwork used in industrial process ventilation
-
Translating laboratory flow data to larger scale industrial airflow requirements
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure careful handling of decimal values due to scale differences
-
Verify units selected match your measurement contexts exactly
-
Account for possible flow variations in non-standard fluid conditions
-
Cross-check results when converting very small flow rates to prevent rounding errors
-
Use the tool as a preliminary step before detailed engineering calculations
Limitations
-
Conversion produces very small decimal values when translating from mL/s to hundred-cubic foot/minute
-
Assumes steady flow and standard fluid properties that may not apply in all situations
-
Not suited for compressible gas scenarios with variable flow conditions
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does milliliter per second measure?
-
Milliliter per second measures the volume of fluid passing a point each second, often used for small-scale liquid or gas flow.
-
Where is hundred-cubic foot per minute commonly used?
-
Hundred-cubic foot per minute is widely used to quantify airflow in HVAC systems, industrial ventilation, and large-scale air movement applications.
-
Why do conversion results have very small decimal numbers?
-
Because of the significant scale difference between milliliter/second and hundred-cubic foot/minute, converted values appear as very small decimal fractions.
Key Terminology
-
Milliliter per second (mL/s)
-
A metric unit measuring volumetric flow rate, representing one milliliter of fluid passing a point each second, used for small-scale liquid or gas flows.
-
Hundred-cubic foot per minute
-
A volumetric flow rate unit denoting 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point each minute, commonly applied for bulk airflow in ventilation and HVAC systems.
