Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does gallon (US)/minute measure?
-
It measures the number of U.S. liquid gallons passing a point each minute, commonly used in plumbing and automotive fields.
-
Why convert gallon (US)/minute to cubic centimeter/minute?
-
Converting allows switching from larger flow measurements to precise small-scale rates needed in medical, laboratory, and microfluidic applications.
-
Is this conversion tool suitable for high flow rates?
-
While usable, high flow rates produce very large numbers in cubic centimeters per minute, which might present challenges with numerical accuracy.
Key Terminology
-
Gallon (US)/minute
-
A volumetric flow rate unit indicating the number of U.S. liquid gallons flowing each minute.
-
Cubic centimeter/minute
-
A flow rate unit equal to one cubic centimeter, or one milliliter, passing a point every minute.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
A measurement of the volume of fluid passing through a point per unit time.
