About Cubic metres per second
The cubic metre per second (m³/s) is the SI coherent unit of volumetric flow rate. It is used for large river discharges, turbine inlet flows, and major pipeline capacities. The Amazon River at its mouth averages ≈200 000 m³/s; a large hydroelectric turbine passes 400-800 m³/s; a major municipal water-main carries 5-20 m³/s. 1 m³/s = 1 000 L/s ≈ 15 850 US gal/min = 35.315 ft³/s.
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.
