- Select cubic meter per kilogram (m³/kg) as the target unit
- Click the convert button to receive the equivalent metric value
- Use the converted value for thermodynamic or engineering computations
Key Features
- Converts specific volume values between imperial and metric units
- Includes clear definitions of both units based on volume per unit mass
- Uses a precise conversion rate for accurate transformations
- Ideal for engineering, thermodynamics, and process calculations
- Browser-based and straightforward for quick unit conversions
Examples
- Convert 5 ft³/lb to cubic meters per kilogram: 5 × 0.06242796 = 0.3121398 m³/kg
- Convert 10 ft³/lb to cubic meters per kilogram: 10 × 0.06242796 = 0.6242796 m³/kg
Common Use Cases
- Reading steam tables and specifying the specific volume of saturated or superheated steam in boiler and turbine analysis
- Converting between volumetric flow and mass flow in HVAC and air handling processes using air specific volume
- Estimating storage and transport volumes for bulk materials by converting mass to volume for inventory and logistics
- Performing thermodynamic and fluid engineering calculations using metric units
- Designing HVAC systems and gas-compression units requiring space estimations for fluid volumes
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure consistent temperature and pressure conditions when interpreting specific volume values
- Verify the units used in process data to avoid conversion errors
- Use the conversion primarily for specific volume measurements as defined by mass-based volume
- Consult appropriate property tables for accurate input values during calculations
Limitations
- Conversion assumes consistent temperature and pressure since specific volume varies with state conditions
- Applicable only to specific volume units expressed as volume per mass
- Different materials may require additional interpretation when using tabulated specific volume data
- Conversion accuracy depends on exact definitions of the units involved
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does cubic foot per pound (ft³/lb) measure?
- It measures specific volume indicating the volume occupied by one pound of a substance and is the reciprocal of density when expressed in pounds per cubic foot.
- When should I use cubic meter per kilogram instead of cubic foot per pound?
- Use cubic meter per kilogram when metric units are required, such as in thermodynamic calculations, HVAC design, or engineering applications using SI units.
- Is the conversion constant for all materials?
- The conversion rate is constant for units, but specific volume depends on the substance and its temperature and pressure conditions.
Key Terminology
- Cubic foot per pound (ft³/lb)
- A unit expressing the volume occupied by one pound of a substance, representing specific volume in imperial units.
- Cubic meter per kilogram (m³/kg)
- A metric unit of specific volume showing cubic meters of volume per one kilogram of material.
- Specific Volume
- The volume occupied by a unit mass of a substance; the reciprocal of density.
