What Is This Tool?
This converter tool allows you to transform flow measurements from cubic centimeter per second, a small-scale volumetric flow rate used in medical and laboratory settings, into gallon (UK) per minute, an imperial unit common in plumbing, engineering, and industrial contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in cubic centimeters per second that you want to convert
-

-
Supports flow rate conversions between small metric and imperial units
-
Browser-based tool requiring no installation
-
Helpful for pump sizing, infusion rate calculations, and process documentation
Examples
-
100 cubic centimeters per second equals approximately 1.31981549 gallon (UK) per minute
-
500 cubic centimeters per second converts to about 6.59907745 gallon (UK) per minute
Common Use Cases
-
Medical infusion pump dose rate conversions
-
Microfluidic laboratory experiments requiring precise flow measurements
-
Sizing pumps and hoses for water supply, irrigation, or firefighting using imperial units
-
Determining flow capacity for plumbing fixtures in domestic or commercial settings
-
Reporting flow rates in industrial documentation involving legacy UK imperial measurements
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure fluid conditions are consistent to maintain conversion accuracy
-
Be mindful of regional use of imperial units when applying conversions
-
Use the converter for steady flow scenarios to avoid discrepancies
-
Double-check converted values when scaling between very small and large flows
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes steady flow and standard fluid conditions without accounting for temperature or fluid properties
-
Small volumetric flow rates in cubic centimeter/second may have rounding errors at industrial scales
-
Applicability depends on regional preferences for imperial versus metric units
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is cubic centimeter per second used for?
-
It is a unit for volumetric flow rates commonly used to measure small flow volumes, such as in medical infusion pumps and microfluidic laboratory experiments.
-
Why convert to gallon (UK) per minute?
-
Converting to gallon (UK)/minute helps apply flow measurements in engineering, plumbing, and industrial contexts where imperial units are standard.
-
Does this conversion consider fluid properties?
-
No, the conversion assumes steady flow under standard conditions and does not adjust for temperature or fluid characteristics.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic Centimeter/Second
-
A volumetric flow rate unit equal to one cubic centimeter or milliliter of fluid passing a point each second, often used for small flow rates in medical and lab settings.
-
Gallon (UK)/Minute
-
A volumetric flow rate measuring the number of UK gallons delivered each minute, commonly used in plumbing and engineering involving imperial units.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The volume of fluid that passes through a point or area per unit time, measured in units like cubic centimeters per second or gallons per minute.
