1 ft3/s = 28.316831998814504 l/s
1 l/s = 0.03531468492103444 ft3/s
Example: convert 74 ft3/s to l/s:
74 ft3/s = 74 x 28.316831998814504 = 2095.4455679122734 l/s
Cubic foot per second
Definition: A cubic foot per second (ft3/s) is a unit of flow rate that represents the volume of fluid (or sometimes gas) passing a point in one second, measured in cubic feet. It's used where large volumes are transferred rapidly.
History/origin: This unit combines the cubic foot, a common volume measurement, with the second as the unit of time. It allows quantifying how quickly a volume of substance moves.
Current use: It's commonly used in hydrology for measuring river flow, in HVAC systems for air flow, and in industrial applications involving high-volume fluid or gas transfer.
Litre per second
Definition: Liters per second (L/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate. It represents the volume of a substance passing through a given point per unit of time, measured in liters per second.
History/origin: The liter (L) is a metric unit of volume. Its use dates back to the French Revolution. The 'per second' component makes it a measure of flow rate.
Current use: L/s is a frequently used unit for measuring fluid flow rates in various applications, including water supply systems, industrial processes, and environmental monitoring.
