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.
Gallon per Second (gal/s)
Definition
Gallon per second (gal/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in gallons passing through a given area per second. It's used for high-flow applications in American systems.
History
The gal/s unit developed for high-capacity water and fluid handling systems in the United States. It became useful for large pumping systems, fire protection, and industrial applications where gallon-per-minute measurements would result in very large numbers.
Current Use
Gal/s is used in large-scale water systems, fire protection, high-capacity pumps, and industrial fluid handling in the United States. It's standard for large pump specifications, fire suppression systems, and major water distribution system measurements.
