Conversion Formula

Factor

1 ft3/s=3,600 ft3/h1\ \mathrm{\mathrm{ft}^{3}/s} = 3,600\ \mathrm{\mathrm{ft}^{3}/h}

Formula

ft3/h=ft3/s×3,600\mathrm{\mathrm{ft}^{3}/h} = \mathrm{\mathrm{ft}^{3}/s} \times 3,600

Unit Description

Cubic Foot per Second (ft³/s)

Definition

Cubic foot per second (ft³/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in cubic feet passing through a given area per second. It equals approximately 0.0283 cubic meters per second.

History

The ft³/s unit developed with American hydraulic engineering and water management systems. It became the standard unit for measuring river flows, water supply systems, and large-scale fluid handling in the United States, particularly for natural water systems and civil engineering projects.

Current Use

Ft³/s is extensively used in the United States for river flow measurements, water supply systems, flood control, and hydraulic engineering. It's standard for USGS stream gauging, water rights allocations, dam discharge measurements, and civil engineering hydraulic calculations.

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.
