Not applicable for imperial gallons or other non-US gallon units
-
Measurement errors can occur due to instrument calibration and flow characteristics
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic meter per hour measure?
-
It measures the volume of fluid passing a point every hour, commonly used for liquids and gases.
-
Why convert cubic meter/hour to gallon (US)/minute?
-
To express large-scale flow rates in units more familiar in plumbing, automotive, and commercial contexts.
-
Does the conversion apply to imperial gallons?
-
No, this conversion is specific to US liquid gallons and may not be accurate for imperial gallon units.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic meter/hour [m^3/h]
-
A unit measuring how much volume flows past a point in one hour, typically for fluids in engineering.
-
Gallon (US)/minute
-
A volumetric flow rate unit indicating how many US liquid gallons pass a point per minute.
