Fluid Ounce per minute
Definition: A fluid ounce per minute (fl-oz/min) 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 minute.
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 minute' component indicates a rate of change over time.
Current use: Fluid ounces per minute is a common unit used in various industrial and culinary applications, such as measuring dispensing rates in machinery, regulating beverage dispensing, and in laboratory experiments.
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.
