GPM Formula:
| From: | To: |
The CC to GPM conversion calculates flow rate in gallons per minute from volume in cubic centimeters over a specified time period. This conversion is essential in fluid dynamics, engineering, and various industrial applications.
The calculator uses the conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula converts volume from cubic centimeters to gallons and time from seconds to minutes, then calculates the flow rate.
Details: Accurate flow rate conversion is crucial for hydraulic systems, plumbing design, chemical processing, irrigation systems, and any application involving fluid transfer and measurement.
Tips: Enter volume in cubic centimeters and time in seconds. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will provide the flow rate in gallons per minute.
Q1: Why is the conversion factor 63090.1964?
A: This factor combines the conversion from cc to gallons (1 gallon = 3785.411784 cc) and seconds to minutes (1 minute = 60 seconds): 3785.411784 × 60 = 63090.1964.
Q2: What are typical GPM values in practical applications?
A: Residential faucets: 1-3 GPM, showerheads: 2-3 GPM, garden hoses: 5-10 GPM, industrial pumps: 50-1000+ GPM depending on application.
Q3: Can I use this for any fluid?
A: Yes, the conversion is volumetric and works for any fluid, but actual flow characteristics may vary based on fluid viscosity and system design.
Q4: How accurate is this conversion?
A: The mathematical conversion is precise. Accuracy in practice depends on measurement precision of volume and time inputs.
Q5: What if I need to convert to other units?
A: For liters per minute, use different conversion factors. This calculator specifically handles cubic centimeters to gallons per minute conversion.
