Liter per Minute to Gallon per Hour Converter

Liter per minute (L/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in liters passing through a given area per minute. It provides a practical scale for many everyday and industrial flow measurements.

The L/min unit became widely adopted in various industries as it provided convenient numerical values for many common applications. It was particularly useful in automotive, medical, and laboratory applications where flow rates were moderate and minute-based measurements were practical.

L/min is extensively used in automotive fuel systems, medical equipment (IV drips, oxygen flow), laboratory instruments, and small to medium pumping systems. It's standard for fuel injection rates, medical flow meters, laboratory pumps, and aquarium filtration systems.

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.

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.

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.
