Mechanisms¶
- Engineering Equation Sanity Check
- Tracing back, flow rate was entered in litres per second but the constant assumed cubic metres per second — a factor of 1000
This sourceDefines one litre as 10^-3 cubic metres and shows that L/s and m³/s share a volume-per-time dimension, yielding a factor-of-1000 conversion.

- Unit Conversion Workflow
- The workflow fixes a reference standard first — millimetres — then converts every imperial value against the exact factor (1 inch = 25.4 mm), so ±0.005 in becomes ±0.127 mm and the two tolerances finally live on the same convention.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 3 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
