What Is This Tool?

This tool helps convert kinematic viscosity values from square foot per second (ft²/s) to square foot per hour (ft²/h), both Imperial units representing how rapidly momentum diffuses through a fluid. It is useful in engineering and fluid mechanics contexts where such unit conversions are necessary.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in square foot/second (ft²/s) you want to convert.
  • Select the target unit as square foot/hour (ft²/h).
  • Use the provided conversion formula or tool to compute the result.
  • Review the converted value expressed in square foot/hour.
  • Apply the converted value for engineering or fluid mechanics calculations.

Key Features

  • Converts kinematic viscosity between square foot/second and square foot/hour.
  • Based on an accurate conversion factor: 1 ft²/s = 3600.0000000033 ft²/h.
  • Supports fluid mechanics and engineering applications involving Imperial units.
  • Provides clear formula and examples for straightforward calculations.
  • Browser-based and easy to use for quick unit conversions.

Examples

  • Convert 2 square foot/second: 2 × 3600 = 7200 square foot/hour.
  • Convert 0.5 square foot/second: 0.5 × 3600 = 1800 square foot/hour.

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying kinematic viscosity of lubricating oils and hydraulic fluids in US customary units.
  • Calculating Reynolds number and predicting flow regimes in pipe and open-channel flows.
  • Comparing or converting historical viscosity data for HVAC and pipeline system analysis.
  • Reporting viscosity measurements consistent with regional engineering specifications.
  • Estimating momentum diffusion or mixing rates in porous media and fluid dynamics studies.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure unit consistency across all engineering calculations when switching between time scales.
  • Use the exact conversion rate of 3600 to maintain calculation accuracy.
  • Be aware that viscosity may vary with temperature and pressure, affecting conversions.
  • Double-check measurement precision especially when working with small viscosity values.
  • Apply conversions according to the specific regional or project engineering standards.

Limitations

  • Conversion involves a time scale change factor of 3600, which can impact precision if not handled carefully.
  • Assumes fluid properties remain constant and does not account for viscosity changes due to temperature or pressure variations.
  • Not applicable for units outside the Imperial or US customary systems specified.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the conversion factor 3600 between ft²/s and ft²/h?
The factor 3600 comes from the number of seconds in one hour, converting the time unit from seconds to hours while keeping the area unit constant.

Can I use this conversion for all types of fluids?
This conversion is designed for fluids with consistent properties; however, variations in viscosity due to temperature or pressure changes should be considered separately.

Is this conversion applicable in international standards?
This conversion is mainly used within Imperial and US customary unit contexts, but it helps when comparing data to SI units like m²/s used internationally.

Key Terminology

Square foot/second (ft²/s)
An Imperial/US customary unit of kinematic viscosity measuring momentum diffusion per unit area and time in seconds.
Square foot/hour (ft²/h)
An Imperial unit expressing kinematic viscosity as momentum diffusion per unit area and time in hours.
Kinematic viscosity
The ratio of a fluid's dynamic viscosity to its density, indicating the rate of momentum diffusion through the fluid.
