What does cubic foot per minute measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate as the volume of fluid flowing through a cross-section each minute, commonly used in HVAC and industrial systems.

When is gallon (UK) per day used?

It is often used to describe very low liquid flow rates, such as chemical dosing, leak rates, or small-scale irrigation especially in UK or imperial unit contexts.

Can I use this converter for all fluids?

The converter assumes steady volumetric flow without accounting for fluid density or temperature effects, so use it when such factors are consistent or negligible.

What Is This Tool?

This converter translates flow rates from cubic foot per minute, a common unit in HVAC and industrial applications, into gallon (UK) per day, a unit often used for low-volume liquid flow and dosing in British contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volumetric flow rate value in cubic foot per minute.
Select the output unit as gallon (UK) per day.
Click convert to receive the equivalent value based on the conversion rate.
Review the result expressed in gallon (UK)/day for your specific application.

Key Features

Converts flow units between cubic foot/minute and gallon (UK)/day.
Browser-based tool ideal for engineering and environmental applications.
Supports translation of large industrial scale flow rates to smaller-scale liquid measurements.
Includes usage contexts for HVAC, chemical dosing, irrigation, and water supply.
Simple interface to input values and obtain converted results immediately.

Examples

2 cubic feet per minute converts to 17939.05 gallon (UK) per day.
0.5 cubic foot per minute converts to 4484.76 gallon (UK) per day.

Common Use Cases

Specifying fan capacity and ventilation rates in HVAC system designs.
Measuring compressed air delivery for pneumatic tools and compressors.
Describing low-volume liquid dosing or chemical feed rates in British engineering.
Reporting small leak or drip rates in UK water consumption data.
Specifying flow rates for small-scale agricultural irrigation using imperial units.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this conversion only when volumetric flow units are compatible and relevant for your measurement context.
Be mindful of the large difference in scale between these units, especially when converting from cubic foot/minute to gallon (UK)/day.
Consider the steady flow assumption; variations in fluid density or temperature are not accounted for.
Interpret results appropriately for small flow rate measurements common in gallon (UK)/day usage.
Double-check conversions in reports to ensure clarity given the magnitude differences.

Limitations

Units represent very different scales and typical usage contexts, so apply conversion carefully.
Does not consider changes in fluid density or temperature influences on flow.
Large values in cubic foot/minute produce large outputs in gallon (UK)/day, requiring cautious reporting.
Not suitable for flows where fluid properties vary significantly or transient flows occur.
