What Is This Tool?
This tool converts volumetric flow rates from hundred-cubic foot per hour to gallon (UK) per minute, helping you translate measurements commonly used for gas and air flows into those typical for liquids in imperial units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in hundred-cubic foot per hour
-
Select hundred-cubic foot/hour as the input unit and gallon (UK)/minute as the output unit
-
Click convert to get the equivalent flow rate in gallon (UK)/minute
-
Review the result to assist in engineering, plumbing, or process control calculations
Key Features
-
Converts low-to-moderate flow rates from hundred-cubic foot/hour to gallon (UK)/minute
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation
-
Supports applications in utility metering, plumbing, irrigation, and industrial processes
-
Displays conversions using a precise conversion rate between imperial gas flow and liquid flow units
Examples
-
Convert 5 hundred-cubic foot/hour to gallon (UK)/minute results in approximately 51.91 gallon (UK)/minute
-
Convert 0.2 hundred-cubic foot/hour to gallon (UK)/minute results in approximately 2.08 gallon (UK)/minute
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring natural gas flow rates for residential or small commercial settings
-
Sizing and monitoring gas supplies for appliances and burners
-
Designing ventilation and exhaust systems with imperial units
-
Specifying water supply pumps and hoses using UK gallons in plumbing or irrigation
-
Reporting flow in industrial documents using legacy imperial measurements
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure flow conditions are steady when applying conversion
-
Consider the fluid type since gas flow and liquid flow units differ in physical state
-
Use this conversion mainly in regions where imperial units are standard
-
Confirm units carefully before applying converted values in sensitive engineering tasks
Limitations
-
Assumes stable volumetric flow without accounting for temperature or pressure variations
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour is specific to gases, whereas gallon (UK)/minute is typically for liquids
-
May have limited relevance outside of countries using imperial measurement systems
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does hundred-cubic foot/hour measure?
-
It measures a volumetric flow rate representing 100 cubic feet of gas or air flowing per hour, often used in utility and small commercial applications.
-
Where is gallon (UK)/minute typically used?
-
This unit measures volumetric flow in UK gallons each minute, commonly applied in plumbing, pump sizing, and industrial flow measurements using imperial units.
-
Can this conversion be used interchangeably for gas and liquid flows?
-
Not always, since hundred-cubic foot/hour is intended for gases, while gallon (UK)/minute is more suited for liquids; conversion should consider the fluid state.
Key Terminology
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
A flow rate unit representing 100 cubic feet of gas or air passing a point each hour, used for low-to-moderate gas flow measurements.
-
Gallon (UK)/minute
-
A volumetric flow rate equal to the number of UK gallons flowing each minute, commonly applied in plumbing and industrial contexts.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid passing through a point per unit time, used to quantify flows of gases or liquids.
