Fluid Ounce per hour
Definition: A fluid ounce per hour (fl-oz/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate that measures the volume of a fluid passing through a surface per unit of time. It represents the amount of fluid volume, measured in fluid ounces, that flows every hour.
History/origin: The fluid ounce is a unit of volume in the imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. Its historical origins can be traced back to systems of apothecary measures and later standardization for commercial purposes. The 'per hour' component indicates a rate of change over time.
Current use: Fluid ounces per hour is used in applications where measuring very slow fluid flow rates is needed, such as small drip systems, certain chemical processes, or laboratory experiments requiring slow infusion rates.
Gallon per minute
Definition: Gallons per minute (gal/min) is a unit of flow rate that represents the volume of fluid that passes a point in one minute, measured in gallons. This is a widely used measure in many industries for flow quantification.
History/origin: Like gal/s, the origin comes from the need to measure fluid flow rates in practical applications. The gallon is an established unit of volume, and the 'per minute' component allows for a convenient measurement over a manageable time interval.
Current use: It's used extensively in applications like measuring water flow in households, industrial processes, and in vehicle fuel consumption. It is a common unit for pumps, showers, and irrigation systems.
