What Is This Tool?
This tool converts volumetric flow rates measured in hundred-cubic foot per minute to gallon (US) per minute, facilitating the translation of air or gas flow rates into liquid flow units commonly used in plumbing and industrial contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in hundred-cubic foot per minute that you wish to convert
-
Select hundred-cubic foot/minute as the input unit and gallon (US)/minute as the output unit
-
Click convert to get the equivalent flow rate in gallon (US)/minute
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates between hundred-cubic foot/minute and gallon (US)/minute
-
Supports applications in ventilation, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial systems
-
Provides quick numerical conversions with easy-to-understand output
Examples
-
Convert 1 hundred-cubic foot/minute to 748.05 gallon (US)/minute
-
Convert 2 hundred-cubic foot/minute to 1496.10 gallon (US)/minute
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying fan or HVAC supply and exhaust capacities for large rooms or buildings
-
Sizing and rating industrial blowers and process ventilation ductwork
-
Measuring airflow on test stands or within environmental control systems
-
Specifying pump capacities and sprinkler or irrigation system flow rates
-
Rating HVAC water flow and cooling tower circulation in building services
-
Measuring fuel or liquid transfer rates in automotive and small-engine uses
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure unit selections match the system context to maintain measurement consistency
-
Use this conversion to integrate air or gas flow data with liquid flow specifications
-
Consider system requirements and physical properties when interpreting conversion results
Limitations
-
The conversion applies to incompressible fluids; gases and liquids differ in physical behavior
-
Values are based on US liquid gallons and may not be valid for imperial gallons or other units
-
Context-specific calibration might be necessary for precise engineering applications
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one hundred-cubic foot per minute represent?
-
It is the volume of 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point each minute, commonly used to quantify bulk air or gas flow.
-
In what contexts is gallon (US) per minute typically used?
-
It measures liquid flow rates in plumbing, pump specifications, irrigation systems, HVAC, and automotive fuel transfer.
-
Are the conversion results applicable to imperial gallons?
-
No, the conversion rate is specific to US liquid gallons and does not apply to imperial gallons.
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 for air or gas flow.
-
Gallon (US) per minute
-
A volumetric flow unit denoting the number of US liquid gallons passing a point each minute, often used in plumbing and liquid transfer.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid passing through a point per unit time.
