  2. Volumetric flow rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_flow_rate

    The SI unit is cubic metres per second (m 3 /s). Another unit used is standard cubic centimetres per minute (SCCM). In US customary units and imperial units, volumetric flow rate is often expressed as cubic feet per second (ft 3 /s) or gallons per minute (either US or imperial definitions).

  3. Flow coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_coefficient

    SG is the specific gravity of the fluid (for water = 1), ΔP is the pressure drop across the valve (expressed in psi). In more practical terms, the flow coefficient C v is the volume (in US gallons) of water at 60 °F (16 °C) that will flow per minute through a valve with a pressure drop of 1 psi (6.9 kPa) across the valve.

  4. Fixture unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixture_unit

    The relationship between gallons per minute (gpm) and fixture unit is not constant, but varies with the number of fixture units. For example, 1000 FU is equivalent to 220 US gallons per minute (0.014 m 3 /s) while 2000 FU represents only 330 US gallons per minute (0.021 m 3 /s), about 1.5 times the flow rate.

  5. Water flow test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_flow_test

    where: [2] Q f = total residual flow during the test (gallons per minute); c = discharge coefficient (unitless). This is usually 1.0 if using a diffuser. If using a wand to measure the stagnation pressure, the coefficient value depends on the shape of the flow hydrant orifice.

  6. Low-flow fixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-flow_fixtures

    In the United States the conventional showerhead uses 2.5 gallons per minute and the average person in the United States takes an 8-minute shower meaning an average water consumption of approximately 20 gallons per shower. [13] Switching to water-efficient fixtures is a smart way to save water, reduce your utility bills, and support ...

  7. Gasoline pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_pump

    Light passenger vehicles pump up to about 50 litres (13 US gallons) per minute [8] (the United States limits this to 10 US gallons [38 litres] per minute [9]); pumps serving trucks and other large vehicles have a higher flow rate, up to 130 litres (34 US gallons) per minute in the UK [8] and 40 US gallons (150 litres) in the US. This flow rate ...

    Many folks opt to aim for the nice, square number of 1 gallon of water a day (for reference, 2.7 liters equal about 0.7 gallons), so we looked into the health benefits of drinking that much H20 ...

  9. Gallon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallon

    It is used in some Commonwealth countries, and until 1976 was defined as the volume of water at 62 °F (16.67 °C) [5] [6] whose mass is 10 pounds (4.5359237 kg). There are four imperial quarts in a gallon, two imperial pints in a quart, and there are 20 imperial fluid ounces in an imperial pint, [4] yielding 160 fluid ounces in an imperial gallon.
