What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms flow measurements from gallon (US) per hour, a unit commonly used to measure liquid flow rates, into hundred-cubic foot per minute, a unit that quantifies larger-scale air or gas volumes passing through a point each minute. It helps bridge liquid and gas flow measurements for various engineering and industrial uses.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the numeric flow rate value in gallon (US) per hour
-
Select gallon (US)/hour as the input unit
-
Select hundred-cubic foot/minute as the output unit
-
Click convert to see the equivalent volumetric flow rate in hundred-cubic foot/minute
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow from gallon (US)/hour to hundred-cubic foot/minute
-
Supports applications across fuel burn rates, small pump flows, and HVAC systems
-
Easy to use with straightforward input and output units
-
Browser-based and accessible anytime without installation
Examples
-
50 gal (US)/h converts to 0.001114005 hundred-cubic foot/minute
-
100 gal (US)/h converts to 0.00222801 hundred-cubic foot/minute
Common Use Cases
-
Monitoring fuel consumption rates for small aircraft and marine engines
-
Calibrating flow for chemical dosing and condensate removal pumps
-
Designing ventilation and exhaust systems in large buildings
-
Measuring airflow in industrial blowers and environmental control setups
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure that the fluid state (liquid or gas) matches the unit context to avoid errors
-
Use the converter for compatible volumetric flow measurements only
-
Double-check unit selections for accurate conversion results
-
Interpret results carefully when translating flow between liquids and gases
Limitations
-
Density and fluid state differences affect conversion accuracy
-
Measurement precision at low flow rates may vary
-
The units represent different fluid types—liquid vs. gas—requiring caution
-
Ensure comparable fluid conditions to prevent misleading interpretations
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does gallon (US)/hour measure?
-
It measures the volumetric flow rate of US liquid gallons passing a point each hour, commonly used for liquid fuel and small pump flows.
-
Where is hundred-cubic foot/minute commonly used?
-
It quantifies large air or gas flow rates in ventilation, HVAC, and industrial applications.
-
Can this converter be used for any fluid flow?
-
It is designed for volumetric flow rates, but users should be cautious as it converts units commonly associated with different fluid states.
Key Terminology
-
Gallon (US)/hour [gal (US)/h]
-
A volumetric flow rate unit measuring the number of US liquid gallons passing a point each hour, used mainly for liquid flows.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/minute
-
A volumetric flow rate unit representing 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point each minute, typically used for air or gas flows.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The volume of fluid which passes through a surface per unit time.
