Limitations
-
Rounding errors may occur with very large or very small flow values
-
Differences between metric and imperial unit systems require attention
-
Assumes consistent flow without accounting for transient changes or gas compressibility
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic centimeter per second measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate, specifically one cubic centimeter of fluid passing a point each second, commonly used for small flow rates in laboratory and medical settings.
-
What is a gallon (UK) per hour used for?
-
This unit describes the volume of fluid flow per hour in imperial gallons, often applied in UK water treatment, fuel consumption reporting, and chemical dosing systems.
-
How accurate is the conversion between cubic centimeter/second and gallon (UK)/hour?
-
The conversion is based on defined unit relationships but may be impacted by rounding and the assumptions of steady flow conditions.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic centimeter/second
-
A volumetric flow rate unit representing one cubic centimeter of fluid passing per second; equivalent to one milliliter per second.
-
Gallon (UK)/hour
-
A flow rate unit equal to one imperial gallon of fluid passing per hour, where one UK gallon equals 4.54609 liters.
