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.
Cubic Meter per Minute (m³/min)
Definition
Cubic meter per minute (m³/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid passing through a given area in one minute. It equals approximately 16.67 liters per second, providing a convenient scale for medium-scale flow measurements.
History
The m³/min unit developed as a practical alternative to m³/s for applications where flow rates were moderate and minute-based measurements were more convenient. It became common in HVAC systems, industrial processes, and water treatment applications.
Current Use
M³/min is commonly used in HVAC systems for air flow measurements, water treatment plants, industrial process control, and medium-scale pumping systems. It's standard for ventilation system specifications, cooling tower flow rates, and industrial fluid handling equipment.
