What Is This Tool?
This tool allows users to convert volumetric flow rates from cubic meter per minute (m³/min) to US gallon per hour (gal (US)/h). It supports conversions commonly needed for fluid flow measurements in various engineering and industrial contexts.
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)/hour as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent flow rate in gal (US)/h
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow from cubic meter/minute to gallon (US)/hour easily
-
Browser-based unit conversion with intuitive interface
-
Supports flow measurements for HVAC, fuel consumption, chemical dosing, and more
-
Applies a precise conversion factor between SI and US customary units
Examples
-
2 cubic meter/minute equals 31700.646283 gallon (US)/hour
-
0.5 cubic meter/minute equals 7925.1615707 gallon (US)/hour
Common Use Cases
-
Translating volumetric flow rates for HVAC ventilation balancing
-
Specifying fuel consumption rates for small aircraft and marine engines
-
Sizing pumps and dosing systems in chemical and industrial processes

Reporting low flow measurements in US customary gallon per hour units
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure correct unit selection before conversion
-
Use the tool to convert metric flow rates to US customary units for compatibility
-
Be aware of potential measurement errors affecting final results
-
Apply this conversion for standard fluid conditions without accounting for temperature or pressure changes
Limitations
-
Conversion factor is large; small input errors can cause significant output differences
-
Does not account for temperature or pressure effects on volumetric flow
-
Assumes standard liquid properties without adjustments for specific fluid characteristics
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 or water flow.
-
Why convert cubic meter/minute to gallon (US)/hour?
-
To translate flow rates from metric units into US customary units for applications like fuel consumption and chemical dosing.
-
Does the conversion consider temperature or pressure changes?
-
No, this conversion assumes standard conditions and does not adjust for temperature or pressure variations.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic meter per minute (m³/min)
-
A unit measuring volume flow rate representing one cubic meter of fluid passing per minute.
-
Gallon (US)/hour [gal (US)/h]
-
A volumetric flow rate unit indicating the number of US liquid gallons passing a point each hour.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The quantity of fluid which passes through a given surface per unit time.
