What Is This Tool?
This tool converts volumetric flow rates from the US gallon per hour, commonly used in non-SI measuring systems, into cubic centimeters per hour, which is ideal for very low and precise flow measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in gallon (US)/hour
-
Select gallon (US)/hour as the input unit and cubic centimeter/hour as the output unit
-
Click convert to get the equivalent flow rate in cubic centimeter/hour
-
Use the output for precise and low flow rate quantifications
Key Features
-
Converts between gallon (US)/hour and cubic centimeter/hour flow units
-
Browser-based and easy-to-use interface for quick conversions
-
Supports applications in aviation, chemical dosing, medical pumps, and engineering tests
-
Displays results based on the exact conversion rate without added approximations
Examples
-
2 gal (US)/h converts to 7570.823568 cubic centimeter/hour
-
0.5 gal (US)/h converts to 1892.705892 cubic centimeter/hour
Common Use Cases
-
Monitor fuel consumption for small aircraft and marine engines
-
Specify flow rates in chemical dosing and condensate removal systems
-
Set precise infusion rates in medical neonatal or drug microdosing pumps
-
Measure low flows in microfluidic experiments and precision pumps
-
Evaluate small leakage or dispensing rates in engineering lubrication tests
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure input flow rates correspond to the measurement context (non-SI or SI)
-
Use cubic centimeter/hour for very low, steady flow measurements
-
Confirm measurement precision matches the scale of the flow rate being converted
-
Apply conversions to flow rates where unit relevance aligns with application needs
Limitations
-
Gallon (US)/hour is mainly for larger, non-SI flow rates whereas cubic centimeter/hour suits very low rates
-
Measurement precision may affect conversion accuracy at different flow scales
-
Unit applicability depends on the physical context and intended measurement resolution
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 gallon (US)/hour represent?
-
It represents the volume of one US liquid gallon flowing past a point in one hour, commonly used for fuel and fluid flow rates in non-SI contexts.
-
Why convert gallon (US)/hour to cubic centimeter/hour?
-
Converting allows expressing larger flow rates in much smaller units suitable for precise and very low flow measurements in medical and engineering applications.
-
Is this conversion suitable for all flow ranges?
-
It is best for converting from larger flow units to very low flow rates, but measurement relevance and accuracy may vary depending on context and precision.
Key Terminology
-
Gallon (US)/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate unit indicating the number of US liquid gallons passing a point each hour in non-SI measurement systems.
-
Cubic centimeter/hour
-
A volumetric flow unit showing the passage of one cubic centimeter of fluid per hour, used to quantify very low flow rates.
