Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is gallon (US)/minute?
-
It is a unit measuring how many U.S. liquid gallons pass a point every minute, commonly used in North American plumbing and automotive systems.
-
What does gallon (UK)/day measure?
-
It measures how many imperial gallons flow past a point in one day, used in British engineering and small-scale irrigation.
-
Why convert from gallon (US)/minute to gallon (UK)/day?
-
To translate flow rates between North American systems and British imperial measurements, facilitating accurate cross-regional engineering, plumbing, and agricultural documentation.
