How to Convert Gallon per hour to Cup per secondCup per second
1 gal/h = 0.0044444444444444444 cup/s
1 cup/s = 225 gal/h
Example: convert 9 gal/h to cup/s:
9 gal/h = 9 x 0.0044444444444444444 = 0.04 cup/s
Gallon per hour
Definition: Gallons per hour (gal/h) is a flow rate unit that expresses how many gallons of fluid pass a point in one hour. It is suitable for measuring slow flow rates over extended durations.
History/origin: The unit is built upon the standard gallon unit of volume combined with a 'per hour' timeframe, useful for situations where flow rates are relatively slow.
Current use: Applications include measuring fuel consumption rates in vehicles, low-flow chemical dosing, and the monitoring of slow leaks in fluid systems.
Cup per second
Definition: A cup per second (cup/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate that measures the volume of a substance passing through a surface per unit of time. It represents the amount of volume, measured in cups, that flows every second.
History/origin: The 'cup' is a unit of volume primarily used in cooking and is part of the United States customary system of measurement. The 'per second' component indicates a rate of change over time. The precise origin can be linked to the standardization of kitchen measurements.
Current use: Cups per second is rarely used in formal scientific or engineering contexts due to the relatively large and imprecise nature of the 'cup' unit. It might be encountered in high-volume dispensing or filling operations where speed is critical.
