How to Convert Cubic foot/hour to Liter/day

Converting Cubic foot/hour (ft³/h) to Liter/day (L/d) is a core calculation in Volumetric Flow Rate, which quantifies the volume of fluid passing through a designated conduit cross-section per unit of time. This calculation navigates the boundary between the International Metric System (SI) and British Imperial / US Customary engineering standards. In contemporary metrology, Imperial units are defined in terms of exact SI standards via international agreements—notably NIST SP 811 and the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement. Exactly 1 Cubic foot/hour equals 679.604318 Liter/day, while 1 L/d equals 0.00147144 ft³/h.

Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (cubic meter per second (m³/s)) without arbitrary rounding:

Vtarget=Vsource×(ksource→SIktarget→SI)V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)
Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)
1. Source SI Bridge (ksource):1 ft³/h = 7.865791 × 10⁻⁶ cubic meter per second (m³/s)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 L/d = 1.157407 × 10⁻⁸ cubic meter per second (m³/s)
Step-by-step substitution for Cubic foot/hour → Liter/day:V(L/d) = V(ft³/h) × ( 7.865791 × 10⁻⁶ / 1.157407 × 10⁻⁸ ) = V(ft³/h) × 679.604318
Mathematical FormulaValue in Liter/day = Value in Cubic foot/hour × 679.60431821Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.
Worked Example

For an engineering input of 15 ft³/h, applying the conversion factor yields exactly 10194.064773 L/d. At larger operational scale, 5000 Cubic foot/hour corresponds to 3398021.59104 L/d.

Inverse check: 1 L/d = 0.00147144 ft³/h.
