Key Features
-
Converts low-volume liquid flow rates in UK gallons per hour to gas or air flow rates in hundred-cubic foot per hour.
-
Browser-based and easy to use with quick inputs and instant results.
-
Supports applications in water treatment, chemical dosing, and HVAC ventilation systems.
-
Provides clear conversion formulas and examples for user guidance.
Examples
-
10 gal (UK)/h equals 0.016054365 hundred-cubic foot/hour after conversion.
-
100 gal (UK)/h is converted to 0.16054365 hundred-cubic foot/hour.
-
Use the formula: 1 gal (UK)/h = 0.0016054365 hundred-cubic foot/hour to perform manual calculations.
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying low-volume pump or chemical dosing rates in UK water treatment systems.
-
Reporting small fuel or lubricant consumption rates for equipment using imperial units.
-
Measuring drip irrigation, condensate drain, or leak flow rates expressed in imperial gallons per hour.
-
Monitoring natural gas consumption and small gas flow rates for residential and commercial use.
-
Sizing ventilation and exhaust flows in HVAC systems using imperial measurements.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify input values to ensure the correct unit and magnitude before converting.
-
Understand that these units measure different fluid types—liquids versus gases—so use the results for comparison purposes.
-
Refer to example conversions to validate your results.
-
Use the tool primarily in contexts that require integration of imperial liquid and gas flow units.
-
Be cautious with very low flow rate values as numerical precision may affect accuracy.
Limitations
-
The converter relates volumetric flow for liquids and gases but they represent different flow physical properties.
-
Conversion results should be used for cross-referencing and not direct equivalence of flow conditions.
-
Small conversion factors can lead to reduced numerical precision in low flow measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 Gallon (UK)/hour represent?
-
It represents a volumetric flow rate of one United Kingdom (imperial) gallon of fluid passing each hour, equal to 4.54609 liters per hour.
-
When should I convert Gallon (UK)/hour to Hundred-cubic foot/hour?
-
This conversion is useful when comparing low liquid flow rates in UK gallons to low-to-moderate gas or air flow rates expressed in hundred-cubic foot per hour.
-
Is the conversion factor always precise for very small flow values?
-
Due to the small magnitude of the factor, numerical precision may affect accuracy when dealing with very low flow rates.
Key Terminology
-
Gallon (UK)/hour [gal (UK)/h]
-
A volumetric flow rate equal to one imperial gallon of fluid passing each hour, with one UK gallon equaling 4.54609 liters.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate representing 100 cubic feet passing a point per hour, often used for low to moderate gas or air flows.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The quantity of fluid passing through a point or surface per unit time, measured in volume per hour or second.
