Unit Description

Cubic Foot per Second (ft³/s)

Definition

Cubic foot per second (ft³/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in cubic feet passing through a given area per second. It equals approximately 0.0283 cubic meters per second.

History

The ft³/s unit developed with American hydraulic engineering and water management systems. It became the standard unit for measuring river flows, water supply systems, and large-scale fluid handling in the United States, particularly for natural water systems and civil engineering projects.

Current Use

Ft³/s is extensively used in the United States for river flow measurements, water supply systems, flood control, and hydraulic engineering. It's standard for USGS stream gauging, water rights allocations, dam discharge measurements, and civil engineering hydraulic calculations.

Gallon per Minute (gal/min)

Definition

Gallon per minute (gal/min or GPM) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in gallons passing through a given area per minute. It's one of the most common flow rate units in American water and fluid systems.

History

The GPM unit became standard in American plumbing, water systems, and fluid handling applications. It provided convenient numerical values for residential and commercial water systems, becoming the primary unit for pump ratings, plumbing design, and water system specifications in the United States.

Current Use

GPM is extensively used in American plumbing, water supply systems, pumps, and fluid handling equipment. It's standard for water pump ratings, plumbing fixture flow rates, irrigation systems, and residential/commercial water system design and specifications.
