How to Convert Cubic foot per hour to Cubic meter per secondCubic meter per second
1 ft3/h = 0.000007865786666337362 m3/s
1 m3/s = 127132.86571572398 ft3/h
Example: convert 89 ft3/h to m3/s:
89 ft3/h = 89 x 0.000007865786666337362 = 0.0007000550133040252 m3/s
Cubic foot per hour
Definition: Cubic feet per hour (ft3/h) is a flow rate unit that specifies the volume of fluid or gas passing a point in one hour, measured in cubic feet. It's useful for slower flow rates.
History/origin: This unit's origin lies in combining the cubic foot volume with an hourly time frame, making it suitable for scenarios where volume flow is relatively slow.
Current use: It's applied in scenarios like measuring gas consumption in homes, low-flow ventilation systems, and processes that require slow, controlled delivery of gas or fluids.
Cubic meter per second
Definition: A cubic meter per second (m3/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing one cubic meter of substance passing a point in one second. It is used to measure very large volumes of fluid or gas flow.
History/origin: The cubic meter is a metric unit derived from the meter, a fundamental unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). 'Per second' indicates the rate of flow. Its origins lie in the development of standardized metric units for scientific and engineering applications.
Current use: M3/s is commonly used in hydrology (river flow measurement), large-scale industrial processes, and in the operation of hydroelectric power plants where the movement of large volumes of water is critical.
