Convert Cubic feet per hour to Cubic inches per second
Convert Cubic feet per hour (ft³/h) to Cubic inches per second (in³/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
in³/s = ft³/h × 0.48
About Cubic feet per hour
The cubic foot per hour (ft³/h) equals 0.028316846592/3600 ≈ 7.866×10⁻⁶ m³/s, used in US natural-gas metering (residential gas meters read in cubic feet; billing converts to CCF = 100 ft³) and historical furnace-fuel-consumption tables. A US residential gas furnace consumes 80-200 ft³/h of natural gas at full fire. 1 ft³/h ≈ 7.866×10⁻⁶ m³/s.
About Cubic inches per second
The cubic inch per second (in³/s) equals 1.6387064×10⁻⁵ m³/s, used in US automotive engineering for engine displacement sweep rate, fuel-injector calibration, and hydraulic actuator speed specifications. An engine injector delivering 15 in³/s of fuel corresponds to roughly 15.5 mL/s; hydraulic jacks in US equipment are rated in in³/s at operating pressure. 1 in³/s ≈ 1.639×10⁻⁵ m³/s = 0.016387 L/s.
