What Is This Tool?
This converter enables users to change flow measurement units from cubic centimeters per hour to gallons (US) per day, facilitating interpretation of very low volumetric flow rates in more familiar terms.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in cubic centimeters per hour.
-
Select the target unit as gallon (US) per day [gal (US)/d].
-
Click convert to obtain the equivalent flow rate in gallons per day.
Key Features
-
Convert very low volumetric flow rates conveniently between cubic centimeter/hour and gallon (US)/day units.
-
Browser-based tool requiring no downloads or installations.
-
Simple formula-based conversion with clear example calculations.
-
Suitable for specialized fields including medical infusion, microfluidics, and water treatment.
Examples
-
Convert 10 cubic centimeters/hour: 10 × 0.0063401293 = 0.063401293 gallon (US)/day.
-
Convert 50 cubic centimeters/hour: 50 × 0.0063401293 = 0.317006465 gallon (US)/day.
Common Use Cases
-
Setting and reporting low infusion rates in medical pumps such as neonatal or drug microdosing devices.
-
Measuring flow in microfluidic experiments and precision syringe or peristaltic pumps.
-
Reporting household daily water consumption and small-scale groundwater pumping tests.
-
Specifying chemical dosing or leak rates for water treatment and plumbing applications.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure you enter values with appropriate precision considering the very low flow rates involved.
-
Use the cubic centimeter/hour unit for very slow flows and convert carefully to gallons per day for easier interpretation in larger scale contexts.
-
Double-check results where exactness is critical due to differences in unit scales.
-
Familiarize yourself with applications relevant to your field such as microdosing or water resource monitoring for best unit choice.
Limitations
-
Conversions involve units of vastly different scales, requiring care with significant figures.
-
Cubic centimeter/hour best suits very low flow measurements; gallon (US)/day may be less precise for extremely small rates.
-
Users must be cautious about rounding errors in the conversion due to scale differences.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one cubic centimeter per hour represent?
-
It represents a volumetric flow rate where one cubic centimeter (or one milliliter) of fluid passes a point every hour, commonly used for very low steady flows.
-
Why convert cubic centimeters/hour to gallon (US)/day?
-
This conversion helps translate very low volumetric flow rates into units more familiar in larger scale applications like water consumption reporting or chemical dosing.
-
Can this tool be used for any flow rate conversion?
-
This tool specifically converts from cubic centimeters/hour to gallon (US)/day and is tailored to low flow rates; other conversions require different tools.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic centimeter/hour
-
A unit expressing very low volumetric flow rate equal to one milliliter per hour, used in precision flow measurements.
-
Gallon (US)/day
-
A unit representing the volume of one US liquid gallon passing a point in one day, often used in water consumption and chemical dosing.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The quantity of fluid passing through a point per unit time, measured here in units like cubic centimeters/hour or gallons/day.
