What Is This Tool?
This online converter helps translate flow rates measured in gallon (UK) per day into hundred-cubic foot per minute. It is designed for users needing to convert low-volume liquid flow units in British imperial measures to larger volumetric gas flow units commonly used in industrial and HVAC settings.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in gallon (UK)/day you want to convert.
-
Select gallon (UK)/day as the source unit and hundred-cubic foot/minute as the target unit.
-
Click the convert button to see the flow rate expressed in hundred-cubic foot/minute.
-
Review the result and use it for design, analysis, or reporting purposes.
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates from gallon (UK)/day to hundred-cubic foot/minute accurately.
-
Supports industry-relevant units used in chemical dosing, ventilation, and environmental applications.
-
Provides clear examples to demonstrate conversion calculations.
-
Browser-based and easy to use with no installation required.
-
Ideal for engineers, technicians, and professionals working with varied flow rate units.
Examples
-
Convert 10 gal (UK)/d to hundred-cubic foot/minute: 10 × 0.0000011148864808002 = 0.00001114886 hundred-cubic foot/minute
-
Convert 1000 gal (UK)/d to hundred-cubic foot/minute: 1000 × 0.0000011148864808002 = 0.00111488648 hundred-cubic foot/minute
Common Use Cases
-
Describing small liquid dosing or chemical feed rates in British engineering contexts.
-
Reporting low-volume leak or drip flow rates and historical water usage data in the UK.
-
Specifying minor agricultural irrigation or laboratory flow rates using imperial units.
-
Sizing and rating industrial blowers and ductwork in ventilation and HVAC applications.
-
Measuring air or gas volumes in test stands and environmental control systems.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always confirm the units before performing conversions to avoid misinterpretation.
-
Use this tool primarily for comparison or interfacing between different measurement systems.
-
Remember the scale difference: gallon (UK)/day represents very low liquid flows, while hundred-cubic foot/minute handles large gas volumes.
-
Refer to example calculations to validate your input and results.
-
Use this conversion as part of broader engineering or environmental monitoring workflows.
Limitations
-
The two units measure vastly different flow scales and media, limiting direct operational interchangeability.
-
Conversions are best suited for comparison or translating between unit systems, rather than direct process control use.
-
Due to scale differences, values in gallon (UK)/day convert to very small numbers in hundred-cubic foot/minute.
-
Ensure contextual understanding of flow type (liquid vs. gas) when applying the conversion results.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one gallon (UK)/day represent?
-
One gallon (UK)/day is the volume of one imperial gallon flowing past a point over 24 hours, equal to 4.54609 liters per day.
-
What kind of flow does hundred-cubic foot/minute measure?
-
Hundred-cubic foot/minute measures large volumetric flow rates of air or gas passing a point each minute, often used in HVAC and industrial ventilation.
-
Why would I convert from gallon (UK)/day to hundred-cubic foot/minute?
-
Converting helps translate low-volume liquid flow rates expressed in British imperial units into bulk gas flow rates typical in HVAC, environmental, and industrial contexts for analysis or interfacing different measurement systems.
Key Terminology
-
Gallon (UK)/day
-
A unit expressing the volume of one imperial (UK) gallon of liquid flowing over 24 hours.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/minute
-
A volumetric flow rate unit representing 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point per minute, often used for bulk air or gas flow.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The volume of fluid passing through a point or area per unit time.
