What Is This Tool?
This tool converts flow rates from gallon (US) per hour to gallon (US) per minute. It helps users switch between hourly and minute-based volumetric flow measurements commonly used in various industries and applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in gallon (US)/hour
-
Select gallon (US)/hour as the source unit
-
Choose gallon (US)/minute as the target unit
-
Click convert to see the equivalent flow rate in gallon (US)/minute
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates from gallon (US)/hour to gallon (US)/minute instantly
-
Supports applications in fuel consumption, pump ratings, HVAC systems, and more
-
Browser-based and easy to use without any installation
-
Provides clear unit definitions and example conversions for user understanding
Examples
-
Convert 10 gal (US)/h: 10 × 0.0166666667 = 0.166666667 gal (US)/min
-
Convert 60 gal (US)/h: 60 × 0.0166666667 = 1 gal (US)/min
Common Use Cases
-
Calculating fuel burn rates for small aircraft, marine engines, and portable generators
-
Specifying flow rates for small pumps and chemical dosing systems
-
Rating water flow in residential and commercial plumbing and irrigation systems
-
Measuring fuel transfer rates in automotive and small-engine scenarios
-
Monitoring HVAC water flow and cooling tower circulation
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify that the unit of measurement aligns with application timing needs (hour vs. minute)
-
Use the conversion formula consistently for accurate results
-
Account for possible fluctuations in flow rates when monitoring or specifying systems
-
Understand the non-SI nature of these units and their predominant use in US customary contexts
Limitations
-
Difference in time scale requires attention to application timing when converting
-
Assumes steady flow rates; variations may reduce accuracy
-
Units are primarily used in US customary systems and may not be suitable where only metric units apply
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert from gallon (US)/hour to gallon (US)/minute?
-
Converting between these units allows for more precise flow measurement suited to different timing requirements in fuel, pump, and HVAC applications.
-
What is the conversion factor between gallon (US)/hour and gallon (US)/minute?
-
1 gallon (US)/hour equals 0.0166666667 gallon (US)/minute.
-
Are gallon (US)/hour and gallon (US)/minute units part of the metric system?
-
No, both units use US customary measures and are non-SI units generally applied in the United States.
Key Terminology
-
Gallon (US)/hour [gal (US)/h]
-
A volumetric flow rate unit representing the number of US liquid gallons passing a point each hour, used mainly for measuring liquid flows in US customary contexts.
-
Gallon (US)/minute
-
A unit of volumetric flow rate indicating the number of US liquid gallons passing a point every minute, widely used in plumbing, HVAC, and fuel measurement applications.
