Volumetric Velocity Conversions
To convert a displayed Volumetric velocity,
press the Ç key, followed by the key
corresponding to the desired Volumetric
velocity. See below for examples.
Examples
Convert 48 fluid Ounces per Second to
Liters per Second.
KEYSTROKES DISPLAY
1. Clear calculator:
o o 0.
2. Enter 48 oz/s then convert to l/s:
4 8 Ç F (oz/sec) OPS 48
Ç L (Liters/sec) L/S 1.419529
Calculating Aqueduct Slope —
An aqueduct should be sloped so that
water travels less than 10 Feet per Minute.
After a heavy rainfall, the water traveled at
an approximate velocity of 1.72 Inches per
Second. Is the aqueduct sloped correctly?
KEYSTROKES DISPLAY
1. Clear calculator:
o o 0.
2. Enter 1.72 ips then convert to ft/min:
1 • 7 2 Ç i (in/sec) IPS 1.72
Ç y (ft/min)
FPM 8.6*
* Because 8.6 fpm is less than 10 fpm, the aque-
duct is sloped correctly.
