What types of fluids does this conversion apply to?

This conversion is intended for cases where volumetric flow equivalency is valid, primarily involving gases measured in cubic foot per minute and liquids measured in gallon (US) per hour.

Why do I need to consider fluid properties when using this conversion?

Because density and temperature variations affect flow measurements; these properties must be considered for precise applications.

In which industries is this unit conversion commonly used?

It is frequently used in HVAC engineering, compressed air system design, fuel consumption monitoring in small engines and aircraft, and low-flow industrial process control.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter allows you to change volumetric flow measurements from cubic foot per minute, commonly used for air and gas flow, into US gallons per hour, a unit typically used for liquid flow rates. It is useful for engineering, HVAC, and industrial applications.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow rate value in cubic foot per minute (ft³/min).
Select cubic foot per minute as the input unit and gallon (US) per hour as the output unit.
Click the convert button to get the equivalent flow rate in gallon (US)/hour.

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow rate from cubic foot per minute (ft³/min) to US gallons per hour (gal (US)/h).
Supports common engineering and HVAC flow measurement units.
Browser-based tool suitable for quick and easy conversion.
Provides clear examples using standard conversion rates.

Examples

2 ft³/min equals 897.6623377 gal (US)/h by multiplying 2 by 448.83116885.
0.5 ft³/min equals 224.4155844 gal (US)/h using the conversion factor.

Common Use Cases

Determining fan or blower capacity and ventilation rates in HVAC systems.
Measuring compressed air flow rate for pneumatic tools and air compressors.
Calculating fuel burn rates in small aircraft and portable generators.
Specifying flow rates for small pumps, chemical dosing, and condensate removal systems.

Tips & Best Practices

Confirm that the flow involves fluids for which volumetric equivalency is appropriate.
Consider fluid density and temperature as they might influence practical measurements.
Use this conversion primarily for engineering contexts involving air or liquid flows.

Limitations

Cubic foot/minute is mainly used for gases, while gallon (US)/hour commonly applies to liquids, so unit conversion should respect fluid type.
Density and temperature differences can impact real-world flow equivalence across fluid types.
