Example: convert 24 kl/h to gal/min:
24 kl/h = 24 x 4.4028675390625 = 105.6688209375 gal/min
Kilolitre per hour
Definition: A kilolitre per hour (kl/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate equal to 1,000 liters passing a point in one hour. It is used to measure relatively smaller volumes of liquid flow compared to kl/min or kl/s, but over a longer period.
History/origin: The unit stems from the litre, with 'kilo-' indicating 1000 litres. 'Per hour' denotes the flow rate over an hour. The development aligns with the need for standardised units to measure and control fluid transfer in various applications.
Current use: Kl/h is typically used in industrial processes, water treatment plants, and environmental monitoring where flow rates are lower and measured over longer durations. For example, measuring the flow rate of water in a small treatment plant or the flow rate of chemicals in a production line.
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.
