Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 cubic centimeter/day represent in flow measurement?
-
It represents a very small volumetric flow equal to one cubic centimeter of volume transferred over a 24-hour period.
-
What is a gallon (US)/second used to measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate as one US liquid gallon passing a point every second, commonly used in high-capacity water and industrial flow contexts.
-
Why convert cubic centimeters/day to gallons (US)/second?
-
To translate very slow flow rates into widely recognized industrial units, enabling comparison and analysis across different flow scales.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic centimeter/day
-
A volumetric flow unit representing one cubic centimeter of fluid passing a point every 24 hours, indicating very slow flow rates.
-
Gallon (US)/second
-
A volumetric flow rate unit where one US liquid gallon passes a point each second, used in various high-volume liquid flow measurements.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The quantity of fluid that passes through a cross-section per unit of time, measured in various units such as cubic centimeters/day or gallons/second.
