Example: convert 5 ft3/min to in3/s:
5 ft3/min = 5 x 28.800117906793478 = 144.0005895339674 in3/s
Cubic foot per minute
Definition: Cubic feet per minute (ft3/min) is a flow rate unit that measures the volume of fluid or gas passing a point in one minute, measured in cubic feet. It is prevalent in many engineering applications.
History/origin: Like ft3/s, it combines the cubic foot volume unit with a time element, in this case, one minute. This allows a practical assessment of volume flow over a reasonable time.
Current use: It is common in HVAC systems for measuring air flow, pneumatic systems, and industrial processes where controlling gas or fluid volume is crucial.
Cubic inch per second
Definition: A cubic inch per second (in3/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing one cubic inch of substance passing a point in one second. It measures small to medium volumes, particularly in engineering contexts.
History/origin: The cubic inch is a unit of volume in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. 'Per second' signifies the rate of flow. It is primarily used in the US, where imperial units are still prevalent.
Current use: In3/s is used in mechanical engineering (e.g., measuring the flow of hydraulic fluids), in the design of engines and pumps, and in other industrial applications where smaller fluid volumes are handled. It is frequently used when measuring the flow of fluids in car engines.
