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 Second (L/s)
Definition
Liter per second (L/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in liters passing through a given area per second. It equals 0.001 cubic meters per second, providing a convenient scale for moderate flow measurements.
History
The L/s unit developed with the widespread adoption of the liter as a practical volume unit. It became particularly useful for water supply systems, plumbing applications, and medium-scale fluid handling where cubic meters would be too large and milliliters too small.
Current Use
L/s is commonly used in plumbing and water supply systems, irrigation, fire protection systems, and laboratory applications. It's standard for measuring flow rates in residential and commercial water systems, pump specifications, and hydraulic system design.

- Calculation: 1 ft³/h ÷ 127.133 = 0.00786579 L/s
Convert 10 Cubic Foot per Hour to Liter per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 ft³/h = 0.00786579 L/s
- Conversion Formula: L/s = ft³/h ÷ 127.133
- Calculation: 10 ft³/h ÷ 127.133 = 0.0786579 L/s
Convert 100 Cubic Foot per Hour to Liter per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 ft³/h = 0.00786579 L/s
- Conversion Formula: L/s = ft³/h ÷ 127.133
- Calculation: 100 ft³/h ÷ 127.133 = 0.786579 L/s
Convert 1,000 Cubic Foot per Hour to Liter per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 ft³/h = 0.00786579 L/s
- Conversion Formula: L/s = ft³/h ÷ 127.133
- Calculation: 1,000 ft³/h ÷ 127.133 = 7.86579 L/s
