What Is This Tool?
This converter helps transform flow measurements from hundred-cubic foot per day (a unit often used to express small volumetric flow rates in gas and water applications) into gallon (UK) per minute, a common imperial unit measuring fluid volume per time in plumbing and engineering.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in hundred-cubic foot/day that you want to convert.
-
Select hundred-cubic foot/day as the from-unit and gallon (UK)/minute as the to-unit.
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent flow rate in gallon (UK)/minute.
-
Use the output to compare or specify flow rates for engineering or plumbing projects.
Key Features
-
Converts flow rates between hundred-cubic foot/day and gallon (UK)/minute with a precise fixed conversion rate.
-
Supports applications in natural gas, water supply, wastewater, plumbing, irrigation, and firefighting industries.
-
Browser-based and easy to use without requiring complex input or prior technical knowledge.
-
Provides predefined examples to facilitate understanding of typical conversions.
-
Helps size and rate pumps, pipes, and flow-control equipment in contexts using imperial units.
Examples
-
Convert 10 hundred-cubic foot/day to get 4.32558018 gallon (UK)/minute.
-
Convert 50 hundred-cubic foot/day to obtain 21.6279009 gallon (UK)/minute.
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting natural gas production from small wells or distribution pipelines for planning.
-
Expressing gas consumption rates in residential or commercial utilities using imperial units.
-
Sizing pumps and hoses for water supply, irrigation, and firefighting in regions with UK gallons.
-
Selecting and rating plumbing fixtures such as taps and showers based on flow rates.
-
Documenting industrial flow rates for legacy equipment that uses UK gallon measurements.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure units are steady-flow measurements when performing the conversion.
-
Use the tool for small continuous flow rates typical in engineering and utility contexts.
-
Confirm you are working with UK (imperial) gallons, as they differ from US gallons.
-
Apply the conversion rate directly without needing additional calculations or revisions.
-
Use the converter results to assist in equipment sizing and flow-control decisions.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes steady flow and does not consider changes in fluid properties or transient conditions.
-
Gallons (UK) are different than US gallons, so caution is needed if interpreting conversion results in mixed unit regions.
-
This tool does not account for temperature, pressure, or other physical variables affecting actual flow conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does hundred-cubic foot/day measure?
-
It measures a volumetric flow rate representing 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point per day, used for small continuous flow rates of gases or liquids.
-
Where is the gallon (UK)/minute unit commonly used?
-
It is used in engineering and plumbing contexts in regions applying imperial units to quantify volume flow per minute, especially for sizing pumps and pipes.
-
Can this converter be used interchangeably with US gallon units?
-
No, the UK gallon differs from the US gallon, so conversions specifically apply to UK (imperial) gallons only.
Key Terminology
-
Hundred-cubic foot/day
-
A unit expressing the flow of 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point in one day, often used for small continuous flow rates in engineering.
-
Gallon (UK)/minute
-
An imperial volumetric flow rate unit indicating the number of UK gallons delivered each minute, common in plumbing and engineering.
