Converting from Inch per Hour (iph) to Speed of Sound in Water (ssiw)

What is Inch per hour (iph)

Inch per hour (iph) is a unit of speed that measures how many inches an object travels in one hour. It is a common measurement in the United States for various applications, including construction and manufacturing. For example, if a pipe is measured to have a flow rate of 5 inches per hour, it means that the fluid inside moves 5 inches over the course of an hour.

What is Speed of sound in water (ssiw)

The speed of sound in water (ssiw) refers to how fast sound waves can travel through water. This speed varies depending on factors like temperature, salinity, and pressure, but under typical conditions at room temperature, it measures approximately 1,484 meters per second. This measurement is crucial in fields like underwater acoustics, sonar technology, and marine biology.

Conversion Formulas

To convert between these two units, you can use the following formulas:

• For converting from Inch per Hour (iph) to Speed of Sound in Water (ssiw):

  ssiw=iph×0.000000004760834

• For converting from Speed of Sound in Water (ssiw) to Inch per Hour (iph):

  iph=ssiw×210047200

Examples

1. Example Conversion from iph to ssiw:

   • Let's convert 10 inch per hour to speed of sound in water:
     ssiw=10iph×0.000000004760834=4.760834×10−5ssiw

2. Example Conversion from ssiw to iph:

   • Now, convert 1,484 m/s to inch per hour:
     iph=1484ssiw×210047200=3.120037632×1011iph

3. Using Specific Values:

   • Convert 11 inch per hour to speed of sound in water:
     ssiw=11iph×0.000000004760834=5.236917×10−8ssiw

4. Another Example from ssiw to iph:

   • Convert 3,000 m/s to inch per hour:
     iph=3000ssiw×210047200=6.301417×1011iph
