What does cubic foot per minute measure?

It quantifies volumetric flow rate as the volume of fluid, usually air, flowing through an area each minute.

Where is gallon (UK)/second mostly used?

It is primarily used in systems based on imperial units, such as older British waterworks, firefighting, and industrial facilities.

Can this converter be used for liquids and gases?

While it converts units of flow rate, the different typical uses—gas for cubic foot/minute and liquid for gallon (UK)/second—mean users should apply it carefully according to fluid type.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts measurements of volumetric flow rate from cubic foot per minute, a unit frequently used in HVAC and pneumatic systems, into UK gallon per second, which is commonly used in water supply and industrial flow measurements within imperial unit contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volumetric flow value in cubic foot per minute.
Select the desired output unit as gallon (UK) per second.
Click the convert button to view the equivalent flow rate.
Use the result for engineering or industrial analysis in relevant unit systems.

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow rates between cubic foot per minute and gallon (UK) per second.
Supports applications in HVAC, water supply, firefighting, and industrial process monitoring.
Browser-based and easy to use with quick result display.
Maintains consistent unit definitions reflecting standard volumetric flow units.
Assists in translating engineering and industrial flow data between metric and imperial systems.

Examples

5 cubic foot/minute is equivalent to approximately 0.5190696215 gallon (UK)/second.
10 cubic foot/minute converts to about 1.038139243 gallon (UK)/second.

Common Use Cases

Specifying fan or blower capacity and room ventilation rates in HVAC systems.
Measuring compressed air delivery rates for pneumatic tools and compressors.
Sizing and monitoring ductwork and ventilation in industrial or smoke-control setups.
Determining pump or meter capacities in systems using imperial UK units.
Reporting water supply flows, hydrant testing, and firefighting system rates.
Documenting process flows in facilities or ship systems retaining UK gallon measurements.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify that the measurement context matches the intended fluid type, as cubic foot/minute often applies to gases and gallon (UK)/second usually to liquids.
Ensure temperature and pressure conditions are consistent between measurement points when interpreting converted values.
Use this conversion for engineering and documentation tasks requiring imperial unit alignment.

Limitations

This conversion assumes similar environmental conditions and does not account for variations in fluid density.
Cubic foot/minute is typically used for air or gas; gallon (UK)/second generally applies to liquids, which may affect accuracy in mixed applications.
Care is needed to avoid errors when converting between unit systems with different fluid characteristics.
