Unit Description
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.
Cubic Foot per Hour (ft³/h)
Definition
Cubic foot per hour (ft³/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in cubic feet passing through a given area per hour. It's used for continuous process measurements and gas flow applications.
History
The ft³/h unit became important in gas distribution and continuous industrial processes in the United States. It provided appropriate scaling for natural gas consumption, continuous air supply systems, and industrial processes where hourly measurements were more practical.
Current Use
Ft³/h is used in natural gas systems, continuous air supply, industrial process control, and gas appliance ratings in the United States. It's found in gas meter readings, industrial gas consumption measurements, and continuous process monitoring applications.
