Unit Description
Gallon per Hour (gal/h)
Definition
Gallon per hour (gal/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in gallons passing through a given area per hour. It's used for slow, continuous processes and fuel consumption measurements.
History
The gal/h unit became important for measuring fuel consumption, slow continuous processes, and applications where gallon-per-minute measurements would result in small decimal numbers. It was particularly useful in automotive fuel consumption and slow industrial processes.
Current Use
Gal/h is used for fuel consumption measurements, slow continuous processes, chemical dosing, and precision flow applications in the United States. It's found in fuel consumption specifications, chemical feed systems, and continuous process monitoring where slow flow rates are involved.
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.
