Enter the flow rate value in gallon (UK)/day into the input field.
-
Select gallon (UK)/day as the source unit and cubic centimeter/hour as the target unit.
-
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent flow rate in cubic centimeter/hour.
-
Review the result to understand the flow in metric units suitable for precise applications.
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates from gallon (UK)/day to cubic centimeter/hour.
-
Supports low-volume flow rate measurements in scientific, medical, and engineering applications.
-
Browser-based and easy to use with straightforward conversion steps.
-
Provides precise conversion factors based on established unit definitions.
-
Useful for switching from imperial UK units to metric SI units for regulatory or technical requirements.
Examples
-
2 gal (UK)/d equals approximately 378.84 cubic centimeter/hour.
-
0.5 gal (UK)/d converts to about 94.71 cubic centimeter/hour.
Common Use Cases
-
Describing low-volume liquid dosing or chemical feed rates in British engineering.
-
Reporting small leak or drip flow rates in older UK datasets.
-
Specifying precise small-scale agricultural irrigation or laboratory flow rates using imperial units.
-
Setting and reporting very low infusion rates in medical pumps, including neonatal dosing.
-
Measuring flow in microfluidics and precision syringe or peristaltic pump systems.
-
Detecting small leak or dispensing rates in industrial lubricant or sealant testing.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure steady flow conditions when applying this conversion, as it does not account for fluctuating rates.
-
Double-check unit consistency when combining data from instruments calibrated in different measurement systems.
-
Use this conversion to facilitate compliance with metric-based scientific and regulatory standards.
-
Apply the conversion in contexts requiring precise representation of very low volumetric flows.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes steady flow and is not suitable for transient or rapidly changing rates.
-
Small flow volumes involved might be subject to measurement inaccuracies or rounding.
-
Careful attention is needed to maintain unit consistency across different instrument calibrations.
Frequently Asked Questions

Key Terminology
-
Gallon (UK)/day [gal (UK)/d]
-
A volumetric flow rate measuring one imperial (UK) gallon passing a point in 24 hours, where one UK gallon equals 4.54609 liters.
-
Cubic centimeter/hour
-
A unit of volumetric flow describing the passage of one cubic centimeter of fluid per hour, useful for very low flow rates.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid that passes through a given point per unit of time.
