What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to transform flow measurements from hundred-cubic foot per minute, a unit used for large-scale air or gas flows, into gallon (UK) per hour, which is common for precise liquid flow rates in UK-based systems. It helps relate bulk volumetric air flows to smaller liquid flow applications.
How to Use This Tool?

Browser-based and easy to access for various professional needs
Examples
-
2 hundred-cubic foot/minute equals 74746.025508824 gallon (UK)/hour
-
0.5 hundred-cubic foot/minute equals 18686.506377206 gallon (UK)/hour
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying fan or HVAC supply and exhaust capacities in large buildings
-
Sizing industrial blowers and ductwork for process ventilation
-
Measuring airflow on test stands or environmental control systems
-
Determining pump or chemical dosing rates in UK water-treatment systems
-
Reporting lubricant or fuel consumption rates in imperial units
-
Expressing drip irrigation or leak rates in imperial gallons per hour
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure steady volumetric flow conditions for accurate conversions
-
Consider the phase of fluid as gas and liquid have different behaviors
-
Account for temperature and pressure when applying conversion results
-
Use precise measuring instruments to improve reliability
-
Double-check conversions when dealing with large-to-small scale units
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes steady flow and does not include gas compressibility effects
-
Large gas volume units are converted into smaller liquid flow units, requiring careful interpretation
-
Differences in fluid state and environmental conditions can affect practical use
-
Measurement precision and flow conditions influence conversion accuracy
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one hundred-cubic foot per minute represent?
-
It represents a flow rate where 100 cubic feet of fluid pass a point each minute, commonly used for bulk air or gas flow.
-
Why convert hundred-cubic foot/min to gallon (UK)/hour?
-
This conversion helps translate large-scale air or gas flow measurements into smaller, precise liquid flow rates used in UK-based chemical dosing and fuel consumption.
-
Can this conversion be used for both gases and liquids without issues?
-
No, differences in fluid phases and conditions, like temperature and pressure, mean caution is needed when applying the results practically.
Key Terminology
-
Hundred-cubic foot per minute
-
A volumetric flow rate unit equal to 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point per minute, used in ventilations and industrial air flows.
-
Gallon (UK)/hour [gal (UK)/h]
-
A volumetric flow rate representing one imperial gallon of liquid flow per hour, corresponding to roughly 4.54609 liters per hour.
