What Is This Tool?
This converter helps you translate flow rates measured in gallon (US) per minute, a common volumetric unit in plumbing and automotive fields, into hundred-cubic foot per day, a unit often used for small continuous flow measurements in gas and water systems.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in gallon (US)/minute
-
Select the output unit as hundred-cubic foot/day
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent flow rate
-
Review the result for engineering or utility reporting purposes
Key Features
-
Converts gallon (US)/minute to hundred-cubic foot/day seamlessly
-
Based on a precise conversion factor of 1 gallon (US)/minute equals 1.925 hundred-cubic foot/day
-
Ideal for applications in plumbing, HVAC, natural gas, and water treatment
-
Browser-based and easy to use without requiring installation
Examples
-
5 gallon (US)/minute converts to 9.625 hundred-cubic foot/day
-
10 gallon (US)/minute converts to 19.25 hundred-cubic foot/day
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying flow rates for pumps and irrigation systems in both residential and commercial plumbing
-
Rating water flow in HVAC systems and cooling towers
-
Measuring natural gas well production or pipeline distribution flow rates
-
Estimating modest groundwater pump or wastewater influent rates in engineering tasks
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure steady flow conditions when applying conversion results
-
Use the hundred-cubic foot/day unit primarily for small continuous flow rates
-
Remember that flow rate conversions do not adjust for fluid temperature or compressibility
-
Verify unit selection carefully for accurate communication across industries
Limitations
-
Does not account for effects of fluid compressibility or temperature variations on volume
-
Hundred-cubic foot/day is less practical for very large flow rates
-
Assumes steady, continuous flow without fluctuations
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 HVAC.
-
When should I use hundred-cubic foot/day?
-
This unit is best for expressing relatively small continuous flow rates of gases or liquids in engineering and utility contexts.
-
Does this conversion consider fluid temperature changes?
-
No, the conversion assumes steady flow and does not account for temperature or compressibility effects on volumetric measurements.
Key Terminology
-
Gallon (US)/minute
-
A unit of volumetric flow rate measuring U.S. liquid gallons passing per minute.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/day
-
A volumetric flow rate unit equal to 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point in one day, used for small continuous flows.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
A measure of the volume of fluid which passes through a given surface per unit time.
