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.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Cubic Foot per Second to Cubic Foot per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 ft³/s = 3,600 ft³/h
- Conversion Formula: ft³/h = ft³/s × 3,600
- Calculation: 1 ft³/s × 3,600 = 3,600 ft³/h
Convert 10 Cubic Foot per Second to Cubic Foot per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 ft³/s = 3,600 ft³/h
- Conversion Formula: ft³/h = ft³/s × 3,600
- Calculation: 10 ft³/s × 3,600 = 36,000 ft³/h
Convert 100 Cubic Foot per Second to Cubic Foot per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 ft³/s = 3,600 ft³/h
- Conversion Formula: ft³/h = ft³/s × 3,600
- Calculation: 100 ft³/s × 3,600 = 360,000 ft³/h
Convert 1,000 Cubic Foot per Second to Cubic Foot per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 ft³/s = 3,600 ft³/h
- Conversion Formula: ft³/h = ft³/s × 3,600
- Calculation: 1,000 ft³/s × 3,600 = 3.6e+6 ft³/h
