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.
Liter per Hour (L/h)
Definition
Liter per hour (L/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in liters passing through a given area per hour. It's commonly used for slow, continuous processes and precision flow measurements.
History
The L/h unit became important in applications requiring precise, slow flow measurements such as medical infusions, chemical dosing, and precision manufacturing processes. It provided appropriate numerical values for applications where faster flow units would result in small decimal numbers.
Current Use
L/h is used in medical infusion systems, chemical dosing equipment, precision manufacturing, and slow continuous processes. It's standard for IV pump settings, chemical feed systems, precision dispensing equipment, and laboratory analytical instruments.

- Conversion Formula: L/h = ft³/s × 101,941
- Calculation: 1 ft³/s × 101,941 = 101,941 L/h
Convert 10 Cubic Foot per Second to Liter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 ft³/s = 101,941 L/h
- Conversion Formula: L/h = ft³/s × 101,941
- Calculation: 10 ft³/s × 101,941 = 1.01941e+6 L/h
Convert 100 Cubic Foot per Second to Liter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 ft³/s = 101,941 L/h
- Conversion Formula: L/h = ft³/s × 101,941
- Calculation: 100 ft³/s × 101,941 = 1.01941e+7 L/h
Convert 1,000 Cubic Foot per Second to Liter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 ft³/s = 101,941 L/h
- Conversion Formula: L/h = ft³/s × 101,941
- Calculation: 1,000 ft³/s × 101,941 = 1.01941e+8 L/h
