Unit Description
Milliliter per Minute (mL/min)
Definition
Milliliter per minute (mL/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in milliliters passing through a given area per minute. It's used for precise, small-scale flow measurements.
History
The mL/min unit became essential with the development of precision medical equipment, analytical instruments, and microfluidics. It provided appropriate scaling for applications involving small volumes and precise flow control, particularly in medical and laboratory settings.
Current Use
mL/min is extensively used in medical devices (syringe pumps, dialysis machines), analytical chemistry, microfluidics, and precision dosing systems. It's standard for medical infusion pumps, chromatography systems, and laboratory analytical equipment requiring precise flow control.
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.
