What Is This Tool?
This unit converter allows you to convert flow rates measured in gallon (US) per minute, a common volumetric flow unit in North America, into cubic centimeters per second, a smaller unit used in laboratory and medical contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in gallon (US)/minute

Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure accurate input values to get precise conversion results
-
Use this conversion to match large industrial units to precise small-scale measurements
-
Be aware of regional unit preferences when sharing data internationally
Limitations
-
Gallon (US)/minute is a relatively large unit, so conversion to cubic centimeter/second is suited for moderate to large flows
-
Minor rounding differences can arise due to unit definition constants
-
Gallon (US)/minute is primarily used in North America; SI units are preferable for international contexts
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does gallon (US)/minute measure?
-
It measures the number of US liquid gallons passing a point every minute, indicating a volumetric flow rate.
-
Why convert from gallon (US)/minute to cubic centimeter/second?
-
Converting allows translating larger, practical flow units into smaller, more precise units needed in medical, laboratory, and engineering applications.
-
Is the gallon (US)/minute unit used worldwide?
-
No, it is mostly used in North America; other regions typically use SI units.
Key Terminology
-
Gallon (US)/minute
-
A volumetric flow unit representing the number of US liquid gallons passing a point each minute.
-
Cubic centimeter/second
-
A unit of volumetric flow corresponding to one cubic centimeter of fluid passing a point each second, equal to 1 milliliter per second.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid that passes through a given point per unit time.
