What Is This Tool?
This converter allows users to translate volumetric flow rates from gallon (US) per second, a unit for large fluid volumes, to cubic centimeters per hour, a unit used for very low flow rates. It serves industries requiring precise flow measurements across vastly different scales.

Examples
-
2 gallon (US)/second equals 27,254,964.8448 cubic centimeter/hour
-
0.5 gallon (US)/second equals 6,813,741.2112 cubic centimeter/hour
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring high-capacity pump discharge in firefighting and water systems
-
Quantifying very low infusion rates in medical devices
-
Monitoring precision flow in microfluidic and engineering applications
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify units before converting to ensure correct input and output
-
Use this converter primarily for translating between very different flow scales
-
Double-check results when working with precise dosing or calibration tasks
Limitations
-
Conversion involves large differences in scale making it impractical for everyday routine use
-
Rounding errors may occur due to the sizeable conversion factor
-
Best suited for comparative or calibration contexts requiring vastly different flow magnitude
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 gallon (US)/second represent in flow terms?
-
It represents one U.S. liquid gallon passing a point each second, equal to 3.785411784 liters per second.
-
When would I use cubic centimeter/hour as a unit?
-
It is used for measuring very low steady flow rates such as in medical infusion pumps or microfluidic experiments.
-
Is this converter suitable for everyday plumbing measurements?
-
Because of the large scale difference, it is mainly useful for translating very high to very low flows rather than routine measurements.
Key Terminology
-
gallon (US)/second
-
A unit of volumetric flow rate equal to one U.S. liquid gallon passing a point each second.
-
cubic centimeter/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate unit representing one cubic centimeter of fluid flow per hour, used for very low flow rates.
-
volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid passing through a point per unit of time.
