Unit Description
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.
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.
