- Select Calculate. Review the result and its working; if you change an input, calculate again before copying or sharing.
Cubic Feet per Hour formula
Flow-rate conversions change the time denominator while preserving the volume moved over an equivalent duration.
Output rate = input × source-to-ft³/hour factor ÷ target-to-ft³/hour factor
What the terms mean
- Flow rate
- A numeric input used by the displayed calculation.
Cubic Feet per Hour worked examples
Convert a per-minute flow rate
A flow is 1 ft³/min. Express the same rate in cubic feet per hour.
- Multiply by the source flow factor, then divide by the destination factor
Answer: 60 ft³/hour.
Convert a per-second flow rate
A flow is 1 ft³/s. Express the same rate in cubic feet per hour.
- Multiply by the source flow factor, then divide by the destination factor
Answer: 3,600 ft³/hour.
Cubic Feet per Hour Converter FAQs
How do cubic feet per minute convert to per hour?
Multiply by sixty, because one hour contains sixty minutes.
Can I convert litres per second to cubic feet per hour?
Yes. Select litres/second as the source and ft³/hour as the destination.
Measurement guide for Cubic Feet per Hour
Keep volume units and time bases separate. A flow rate measures volume per time; multiplying it by duration gives a total volume.
Assumptions and limits
A volume without a time interval is not a flow rate. Gas rates should use consistent reference conditions when compared.
Check your result
Check the time ratio: one cubic foot per minute equals sixty cubic feet per hour. A rate is not a total volume without a duration.
