What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to translate flow rates from cubic centimeter per minute, a unit common in medical and laboratory settings, to gallon (UK) per day, a British imperial system unit used in engineering and agricultural applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in cubic centimeters per minute
-
Select the desired output unit gallon (UK) per day
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent flow rate
-
Review the result, which uses the predefined conversion rate

Common Use Cases
-
Calculating infusion or syringe-pump delivery rates in medical dosing
-
Specifying microfluidic and chromatography flow rates in labs
-
Reporting small liquid dosing or chemical feed in British engineering
-
Estimating small-scale agricultural irrigation flow rates using imperial units
-
Analyzing historical household water consumption data in the UK
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure units entered are consistent with the flow rate measurement system
-
Apply the conversion factor carefully considering the time unit differences
-
Use this tool for steady laminar flows where the conversion applies accurately
-
Cross-check flow rates especially when dealing with long-term estimations
Limitations
-
Does not account for changes in temperature or pressure affecting flow
-
Ignores fluid compressibility which can influence real flow rates
-
Time scale difference between minutes and days requires cautious application
-
Conversion assumes steady laminar flow conditions
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one cubic centimeter per minute represent?
-
It is the flow rate of one cubic centimeter of fluid passing a point every minute, commonly used to measure small liquid or gas flows.
-
Why convert cubic centimeter/minute to gallon (UK)/day?
-
To express precise small-scale flow rates in units commonly used in British engineering, agriculture, and historical water usage contexts.
-
Are temperature and pressure considered in this conversion?
-
No, the conversion assumes steady laminar flow and does not model effects from temperature, pressure, or fluid compressibility.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic centimeter/minute
-
A volumetric flow rate unit representing one cubic centimeter passing a point every minute, equivalent to milliliters per minute.
-
Gallon (UK)/day
-
A volumetric flow rate unit where one imperial gallon of fluid passes a point over 24 hours.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The quantity of fluid volume passing through a point per unit of time.
