Unit Description

Cubic Foot per Hour (ft³/h)

Definition

Cubic foot per hour (ft³/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in cubic feet passing through a given area per hour. It's used for continuous process measurements and gas flow applications.

History

The ft³/h unit became important in gas distribution and continuous industrial processes in the United States. It provided appropriate scaling for natural gas consumption, continuous air supply systems, and industrial processes where hourly measurements were more practical.

Current Use

Ft³/h is used in natural gas systems, continuous air supply, industrial process control, and gas appliance ratings in the United States. It's found in gas meter readings, industrial gas consumption measurements, and continuous process monitoring applications.

Barrel per Minute (bbl/min)

Definition

Barrel per minute (bbl/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in barrels passing through a given area per minute. It's used for higher-rate petroleum industry applications and pipeline measurements.

History

The bbl/min unit developed for measuring higher flow rates in petroleum operations such as major pipelines, large-scale pumping operations, and refinery processes where barrel-per-day measurements would result in very large numbers requiring conversion for operational purposes.

Current Use

Bbl/min is used in petroleum pipeline operations, large-scale oil pumping systems, refinery process control, and major oil handling facilities. It's standard for pipeline flow measurements, large pump specifications, and high-capacity oil handling equipment in the petroleum industry.

Conversion Examples

Convert 1 Cubic Foot per Hour to Barrel per Minute

  1. Conversion Factor: 1 ft³/h = 0.00402178 bbl/min
  2. Conversion Formula: bbl/min = ft³/h ÷ 248.646
  3. Calculation: 1 ft³/h ÷ 248.646 = 0.00402178 bbl/min

Convert 10 Cubic Foot per Hour to Barrel per Minute

  1. Conversion Factor: 1 ft³/h = 0.00402178 bbl/min
  2. Conversion Formula: bbl/min = ft³/h ÷ 248.646
  3. Calculation: 10 ft³/h ÷ 248.646 = 0.0402178 bbl/min

Convert 100 Cubic Foot per Hour to Barrel per Minute

  1. Conversion Factor: 1 ft³/h = 0.00402178 bbl/min
  2. Conversion Formula: bbl/min = ft³/h ÷ 248.646
  3. Calculation: 100 ft³/h ÷ 248.646 = 0.402178 bbl/min

Convert 1,000 Cubic Foot per Hour to Barrel per Minute

  1. Conversion Factor: 1 ft³/h = 0.00402178 bbl/min
  2. Conversion Formula: bbl/min = ft³/h ÷ 248.646
  3. Calculation: 1,000 ft³/h ÷ 248.646 = 4.02178 bbl/min
