What kind of flows is cubic inch/hour used to measure?

It measures very low volumetric flow rates, such as leak rates and precise reagent delivery in laboratory and microfluidic applications.

Why convert cubic inch/hour to gallon (UK)/minute?

To translate very low flow units into larger, more commonly used imperial flow units for plumbing, industrial, or engineering use in regions using UK gallons.

Are UK gallons and US gallons the same in this conversion?

No, UK gallons and US gallons differ; this tool specifically uses UK gallons for the gallon per minute output unit.

Ideal for low-flow and larger scale flow unit conversion
Browser-based and easy to use without installation
Supports applications in laboratory, HVAC, irrigation, and plumbing
Provides quick results to facilitate specification and comparison

Examples

10 in^3/h converts to 0.000600775 gallon (UK)/minute
1000 in^3/h converts to 0.0600775 gallon (UK)/minute

Common Use Cases

Measuring and specifying leak rates in vacuum chambers or refrigerant systems
Dosing and flow control in microfluidics and laboratory setups
Sizing pumps, pipes, and hoses in regions using UK imperial gallons
Designing water supply, irrigation, or firefighting system capacities
Documenting flow rates in industrial or legacy equipment using imperial units

Tips & Best Practices

Verify unit selection carefully to avoid UK vs US gallon confusion
Use appropriate scale units depending on flow magnitude to maintain clarity
Be cautious of potential rounding when converting very low flow rates
Apply conversions in suitable contexts such as precision measurement or plumbing
Double-check results when specifying equipment for flow capacity

Limitations

Cubic inch/hour measures extremely low flow, while gallon (UK)/minute is for larger flow volumes
Conversion may cause rounding errors for very low flow values
Ensure clear distinction between UK and US gallons to prevent error
Not intended for direct scientific calculations without verifying unit suitability

Key Terminology

Cubic inch/hour [in^3/h]: A volumetric flow rate unit representing one cubic inch of volume passing a point every hour; used for very low flows.
Gallon (UK)/minute: Volumetric flow rate unit equal to the number of UK (imperial) gallons flowing per minute, commonly used in plumbing and engineering.
Volumetric flow rate: The volume of fluid that passes through a given cross-section per unit time.
