About Converting Cubic foot per Seconds to Imperial quart per Hours
Cubic foot per Seconds and Imperial quart per Hours both measure volumetric flow rate — how much volume passes a point over time — used to size pipes and pumps, monitor river or stream discharge, control industrial processes, and set medical infusion rates. Cubic foot per Seconds is most often used for the standard unit used by the us geological survey for reporting river and stream discharge at gauging stations.
Formula
imperial quart per hours = cubic foot per seconds × 89695.2306102
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic foot per seconds equals 0.028316846592 base units, and 1 imperial quart per hours equals 3.157007e-7 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per seconds-to-imperial quart per hours factor of 89695.2306102.
Simple example
1 ft3/s × 89695.23061 = 89,695.23061 imp qt/h
1 cubic foot per seconds = 89,695.23061 imperial quart per hours.
Real-world example
60 ft3/s × 89695.23061 = 5,381,713.837 imp qt/h
60 cubic foot per seconds = 5,381,713.837 imperial quart per hours.

Where is the cubic foot per seconds still used today?
United States
What's the difference between volumetric and mass flow rate?
Volumetric flow rate measures the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time (for example, liters per second). Mass flow rate measures the mass instead. For a fluid of constant density the two are directly proportional, but for compressible fluids like gases, mass flow is often the more meaningful quantity.
