Double-check results when dealing with critical dosing or fluid handling systems
Limitations
-
Small magnitude conversions may involve scientific notation, impacting readability
-
Beware of confusion between UK (imperial) and US gallon units which differ in volume
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the exact conversion factor from gallon (UK)/hour to cubic meter/minute?
-
One gallon (UK) per hour is equivalent to 0.0000757682 cubic meter per minute.
-
Why should I be careful about UK and US gallons in flow conversions?
-
UK and US gallons differ in volume, so mixing them up can cause inaccurate flow rate conversions.
-
In which industries is converting gal (UK)/h to m³/min commonly needed?
-
This conversion is useful in water treatment, chemical dosing, HVAC balancing, industrial fluid handling, and manufacturing.
Key Terminology
-
Gallon (UK)/hour [gal (UK)/h]
-
A volumetric flow rate representing one UK (imperial) gallon of fluid passing per hour, with one UK gallon equaling 4.54609 liters.
-
Cubic meter/minute (m³/min)
-
An SI derived unit measuring the volume of fluid flowing per minute, equal to one cubic meter every 60 seconds.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The quantity of fluid volume passing through a point or conduit in a given amount of time.
