Accuracy depends on stable volume definitions and ideal flow scenarios
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one gallon (UK)/hour represent in liters per hour?
-
One gallon (UK)/hour corresponds to 4.54609 liters per hour.
-
Why convert gallon (UK)/hour to cubic centimeter/second?
-
Converting these units offers finer granularity and metric compatibility for precise flow measurements in scientific, medical, and engineering fields.
-
Can this tool be used for high flow rates beyond typical dosing applications?

This tool is best suited for low to moderate flow rates; very high flows may require specialized equipment beyond this conversion.
Key Terminology
-
Gallon (UK)/hour [gal (UK)/h]
-
A volumetric flow rate representing one UK imperial gallon passing a point each hour, equal to 4.54609 liters per hour.
-
Cubic centimeter/second [cm³/s]
-
A metric volumetric flow rate equal to one cubic centimeter of fluid passing a point each second, also known as one milliliter per second.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The quantity of fluid volume passing through a given surface per unit time.
