What Is This Tool?
This converter changes flow measurements from cubic meters per minute—a metric unit measuring volume flow per minute—to US gallons per day, a common unit for reporting daily water volumes in the United States.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in cubic meter per minute
-
Select cubic meter/minute as the input unit
-
Choose gallon (US)/day as the target unit
-
Click convert to see the equivalent flow in US gallons per day
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates between m³/min and gal (US)/d precisely
-
Ideal for water consumption, chemical dosing, and fluid flow applications
-
Supports engineers and technicians in HVAC, water treatment, and industrial fields
-
Provides familiar daily volume units for US-based measurements
Examples
-
2 cubic meters per minute converts to 760815.51 gallons (US) per day
-
0.5 cubic meters per minute converts to 190203.88 gallons (US) per day
Common Use Cases
-
Balancing and specifying airflow in HVAC and ventilation systems
-
Sizing equipment like pumps and compressors in industrial fluid handling
-
Reporting household or per-capita daily water use in the US
-
Measuring chemical dosing or leak rates in water treatment
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify you are using the US liquid gallon for accurate conversion
-
Pay close attention to the difference in time units—minutes vs days
-
Use this converter to express minute-based large flow rates as daily volumes
-
Check results against expected flow ranges in your specific industry
Limitations
-
Time unit difference requires careful conversion awareness to prevent mistakes
-
Only converts using the US liquid gallon definition, not imperial gallons
-
Not designed for direct conversion without appropriate unit selections
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic meter per minute measure?
-
It measures the volume of fluid passing a point each minute, commonly used in engineering to quantify airflow and fluid transfers.
-
Why use gallons per day in conversions?
-
Gallons per day is a familiar unit in the US for daily water consumption and small flow rates, making it practical for reporting and analysis.
-
Can I use this converter for imperial gallons?
-
No, this tool converts only to US liquid gallons per day and should not be applied for imperial gallon conversions.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic meter per minute (m³/min)
-
A volumetric flow rate measuring one cubic meter of fluid passing per minute.
-
Gallon (US)/day (gal (US)/d)
-
A volumetric flow rate equal to one US liquid gallon of volume passing a point in one day.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid flowing through a cross-section per unit time.
