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.
Liter per Hour (L/h)
Definition
Liter per hour (L/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in liters passing through a given area per hour. It's commonly used for slow, continuous processes and precision flow measurements.
History
The L/h unit became important in applications requiring precise, slow flow measurements such as medical infusions, chemical dosing, and precision manufacturing processes. It provided appropriate numerical values for applications where faster flow units would result in small decimal numbers.
Current Use
L/h is used in medical infusion systems, chemical dosing equipment, precision manufacturing, and slow continuous processes. It's standard for IV pump settings, chemical feed systems, precision dispensing equipment, and laboratory analytical instruments.
