Key Terminology
-
Gallon (US)/hour [gal (US)/h]
-
A unit of volumetric flow rate expressing how many US liquid gallons pass a point each hour, commonly used in non-SI liquid flow measurements.
-
Milliliter/day [mL/d]
-
A unit of volumetric flow rate measuring the volume of fluid one milliliter moved over a 24-hour period, used for very low flow rates.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The volume of fluid passing through a point or surface per unit time.
