How to Convert Litre per hour to Gallon per minuteGallon per minute
1 l/h = 0.004402867539062501 gal/min
1 gal/min = 227.12470705237916 l/h
Example: convert 34 l/h to gal/min:
34 l/h = 34 x 0.004402867539062501 = 0.149697496328125 gal/min
Litre per hour
Definition: Liters per hour (L/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate. It represents the volume of a substance passing through a given point per unit of time, measured in liters per hour.
History/origin: The liter (L) is a metric unit of volume. Using 'per hour' provides a convenient timescale for processes that involve slower flow rates.
Current use: L/h is used for measuring very slow flow rates, such as in drip irrigation systems, chemical dosing, or water purification processes.
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.
