2. Low-flow fixtures - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-flow_fixtures

   Faucets that meet energy efficiency standards for WaterSense mustn’t use more than 1.5 gpm, a 32% decrease in flow rate over the federal requirement. [10] Reduced flow faucets often make use of flow restrictors or faucet aerators to reduce the flowrate of the water. Using a faucet with an aerator results in an average 42% reduction in water ...

3. Faucet aerator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faucet_aerator

   A faucet aerator can be classified on the basis of its flow rate and the type of water stream (aerated, non-aerated, spray) it produces. In general, standard-sized aerators are available with female (M22x1) or male threading (M24x1).

4. Tap (valve) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_(valve)

   Its rate is independent of the viscosity or temperature of the fluid or gas in the pipe, and depends only weakly on the supply pressure, so that flow rate is stable at a given setting. At intermediate flow settings the pressure at the valve restriction drops nearly to zero from the Venturi effect ; in water taps, this causes the water to boil ...

5. Residential water use in the U.S. and Canada - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residential_water_use_in...

   Water flowing through opened faucets (including kitchen, bathroom, utility sink faucets, and hose bibs) accounts for 19 percent (26.3 gphd, or 100 lphd) of total indoor water use in an average household where faucets are used 51 times per day. On average, faucets are opened for 30 seconds at a flow of 1 gpm (gallons per minute) and an average ...

6. Flow coefficient - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_coefficient

   It describes the relationship between the pressure drop across an orifice valve or other assembly and the corresponding flow rate. Mathematically the flow coefficient C v (or flow-capacity rating of valve) can be expressed as =, where Q is the rate of flow (expressed in US gallons per minute), SG is the specific gravity of the fluid (for water ...
