What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow rates from hundred-cubic foot per minute, a unit measuring bulk air or gas movement, into gallon (UK) per minute, a unit commonly used for fluid volume flow in imperial systems. It's ideal for applications in ventilation, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial contexts where these units are relevant.
How to Use This Tool?

Common Use Cases
-
Specifying fan and HVAC supply or exhaust capacities in large spaces
-
Sizing industrial blowers and ductwork for ventilation processes
-
Measuring airflow in environmental control or test systems
-
Determining pump and hose capacities for irrigation, firefighting, or water supply using imperial units
-
Selecting and rating plumbing fixtures in domestic or commercial systems
-
Reporting flow rates in industrial processes adhering to UK imperial units
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the units in your system are consistent to avoid conversion errors
-
Use this tool for volumetric flow rates, not for mass flow or conditions where density varies significantly
-
Refer to this converter when working with ventilation, plumbing, or industrial processes involving imperial unit systems
-
Validate converted values within your specific application context, considering pressure and temperature effects separately
Limitations
-
Does not account for variations in fluid density, temperature, or pressure
-
Assumes ideal volumetric flow without considering mass flow differences
-
Intended for use only with volumetric fluid flow rates, not for mass measurements
-
Users must verify unit system compatibility when integrating with other units
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does hundred-cubic foot per minute measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate as the volume of 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point each minute, commonly used in ventilation and HVAC applications.
-
Where is gallon (UK)/minute commonly used?
-
It is used in contexts employing imperial units, such as plumbing, pump sizing, water supply, irrigation, and industrial process documentation.
-
Does this converter consider fluid density or temperature?
-
No, the conversion only applies to volumetric flow and does not account for density, temperature, or pressure differences.
Key Terminology
-
Hundred-cubic foot per minute
-
A volumetric flow rate unit equal to 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point each minute, used mainly in ventilation and HVAC.
-
Gallon (UK)/minute
-
A unit of volumetric flow representing the number of British imperial gallons passing a point every minute, often used in plumbing and pump applications.
