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.
Liter per Minute (L/min)
Definition
Liter per minute (L/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in liters passing through a given area per minute. It provides a practical scale for many everyday and industrial flow measurements.
History
The L/min unit became widely adopted in various industries as it provided convenient numerical values for many common applications. It was particularly useful in automotive, medical, and laboratory applications where flow rates were moderate and minute-based measurements were practical.
Current Use
L/min is extensively used in automotive fuel systems, medical equipment (IV drips, oxygen flow), laboratory instruments, and small to medium pumping systems. It's standard for fuel injection rates, medical flow meters, laboratory pumps, and aquarium filtration systems.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Cubic Foot per Hour to Liter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 ft³/h = 0.471947 L/min
- Conversion Formula: L/min = ft³/h ÷ 2.11888
- Calculation: 1 ft³/h ÷ 2.11888 = 0.471947 L/min
Convert 10 Cubic Foot per Hour to Liter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 ft³/h = 0.471947 L/min
- Conversion Formula: L/min = ft³/h ÷ 2.11888
- Calculation: 10 ft³/h ÷ 2.11888 = 4.71947 L/min
Convert 100 Cubic Foot per Hour to Liter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 ft³/h = 0.471947 L/min
- Conversion Formula: L/min = ft³/h ÷ 2.11888
- Calculation: 100 ft³/h ÷ 2.11888 = 47.1947 L/min
Convert 1,000 Cubic Foot per Hour to Liter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 ft³/h = 0.471947 L/min
- Conversion Formula: L/min = ft³/h ÷ 2.11888
- Calculation: 1,000 ft³/h ÷ 2.11888 = 471.947 L/min
