Cubic inch per hour
Definition: A cubic inch per hour (in3/h) 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 cubic inches, that flows every hour.
History/origin: Similar to cubic inches per minute, this unit is derived from the inch, a unit of length in the imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. The 'per hour' component indicates the rate at which the volume is changing over time. Its origin is tied to the establishment of the imperial system.
Current use: Cubic inches per hour is used in contexts where measuring very small flow rates is necessary. It is utilized in applications where flow rates are expected to be very low, such as certain chemical processes or small-scale machinery.
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.
