What Is This Tool?

This tool converts specific volume measurements from cubic foot per kilogram (ft^3/kg) to gallon (US) per pound, enabling users to translate volume per mass data between mixed unit systems commonly used in engineering and industrial fields.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the specific volume value in cubic foot per kilogram
  • Select the source unit as cubic foot/kilogram (ft^3/kg)
  • Choose the target unit as gallon (US)/pound
  • Click convert to see the equivalent specific volume in gallon (US)/pound

Key Features

  • Supports conversion between cubic foot/kilogram and gallon (US)/pound units
  • Displays results using standard engineering and thermodynamic units
  • Facilitates conversions involving US customary volume units combined with SI or US customary mass units
  • Quick and easy to use for process engineering and HVAC applications

Examples

  • 2 cubic feet/kilogram converts to approximately 6.786 gallons (US)/pound
  • 0.5 cubic foot/kilogram converts to about 1.697 gallons (US)/pound

Common Use Cases

  • Tabulating specific volume data of steam, refrigerants, and gases in thermodynamic tables
  • Performing HVAC and natural gas pipeline calculations involving volume per mass
  • Converting between mass and volume units for process engineering and material handling
  • Calculating storage and transport volume for liquid fuels or chemicals in US gallons

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure correct identification of mass units—kilogram vs. pound—and volume units—cubic foot vs. US gallon
  • Be aware that specific volume varies with temperature and pressure conditions
  • Recognize that only US liquid gallons are accounted for; do not confuse with other gallon types
  • Use the tool for engineering and industrial calculations where mixed-unit systems apply

Limitations

  • Conversion accuracy depends on consistent use of mass and volume units
  • Assumes standard temperature and pressure, so volume may differ in other conditions
  • Not suitable for converting between different gallon types like imperial gallons

Frequently Asked Questions

What does cubic foot per kilogram measure?
It measures specific volume, showing the volume in cubic feet occupied by one kilogram of a substance, the reciprocal of density.

Why convert cubic foot/kilogram to gallon (US)/pound?
To translate volume per mass measurements between mixed unit systems combining US customary volume with SI or US customary mass units, useful in engineering and industrial contexts.

Are there conditions affecting this conversion?
Yes, specific volume values can vary with temperature and pressure, so this conversion assumes standard conditions.

Key Terminology

Cubic foot per kilogram (ft^3/kg)
A specific volume unit expressing volume in cubic feet occupied by one kilogram of a substance; the reciprocal of density.
Gallon (US)/pound
A specific volume unit indicating volume in US liquid gallons per one pound of mass.
Specific Volume
The volume occupied by a unit of mass of a substance; it is the reciprocal of density.
