Example: convert 77 fl-oz/min to gal/s:
77 fl-oz/min = 77 x 0.00013020833333333333 = 0.010026041666666666 gal/s
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 second
Definition: A gallon per second (gal/s) is a unit of flow rate that measures the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time, specifically in gallons and seconds. It is commonly used in contexts where relatively large volumes of liquids are transferred quickly.
History/origin: The gallon is a unit of volume with historical roots in various systems of liquid measurement. The 'per second' component simply standardizes the volume measurement to a time interval. Its origin ties back to practical needs in trade and industry to quantify liquid flow.
Current use: It is used in various applications, including industrial processes, water treatment plants, and contexts where high flow rates are significant, such as in firefighting or large-scale pumping operations. It provides a clear measure of liquid flow speed.
