Cubic foot per second [ft3/s] to Gallon per minute [gal/min] Converter
How to Convert Cubic foot per second to Gallon per minute
1 ft3/s = 448.8309375 gal/min
1 gal/min = 0.0022280104075936163 ft3/s
Example: convert 10 ft3/s to gal/min:
10 ft3/s = 10 x 448.8309375 = 4488.309375 gal/min
Cubic foot per second
Definition: A cubic foot per second (ft3/s) is a unit of flow rate that represents the volume of fluid (or sometimes gas) passing a point in one second, measured in cubic feet. It's used where large volumes are transferred rapidly.
History/origin: This unit combines the cubic foot, a common volume measurement, with the second as the unit of time. It allows quantifying how quickly a volume of substance moves.
Current use: It's commonly used in hydrology for measuring river flow, in HVAC systems for air flow, and in industrial applications involving high-volume fluid or gas transfer.
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.
