Kilolitre per minute
Definition: A kilolitre per minute (kl/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate equal to 1,000 liters passing a point in one minute. It represents a medium to large volume of liquid flow over a minute.
History/origin: Similar to kl/s, kl/min is based on the metric unit of the litre and the 'kilo-' prefix. The 'per minute' component specifies the flow rate over a minute. The metric system and its units were standardized to provide consistent measurements in scientific and industrial applications.
Current use: Kl/min is used in scenarios requiring measurement of flow rates in the medium to high range. It is common in municipal water systems, industrial processes, and agricultural irrigation systems.
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.
