Unit Description
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.
Cubic Meter per Second (m³/s)
Definition
Cubic meter per second (m³/s) is the SI unit of volumetric flow rate, representing the volume of fluid passing through a given cross-sectional area per unit time. One cubic meter per second equals 1,000 liters per second.
History
The m³/s unit was established with the International System of Units (SI) as the standard scientific unit for volumetric flow rate. It became essential for hydraulic engineering, fluid mechanics, and large-scale flow measurements in rivers, pipelines, and industrial systems.
Current Use
M³/s is used in hydraulic engineering, river flow measurements, large pipeline systems, and scientific research. It's standard for measuring discharge rates of rivers, flow capacity of large pumps, and in fluid mechanics calculations for major water treatment and distribution systems.
