We often hear about LPM, which stands for liters per minute. Below are some commonly used flow rate units and their applications:
1. Liter/Minute (L/min): Also known as LPM, frequently used to measure liquid flow rates, such as in water treatment equipment and the delivery rate of liquids in medical devices.
2. Liter/Hour (L/h): Used for measuring longer-term liquid flow, like in the chemical industry.
3. Cubic Meter/Minute (m³/min): Used for large-scale liquid or gas flow in industrial systems.
4. Cubic Meter/Hour (m³/h): Describes large flows over time, like in municipal water supply.
5. Cubic Foot/Minute (ft³/min): Measures gas flow in HVAC and industrial piping.
6. Cubic Foot/Hour (ft³/h): Long-term gas flow measurement in distribution systems.
7. Gallon (US)/Minute (gal (US)/min): Common in US water systems.
8. Gallon (UK)/Minute (gal (UK)/min): Used in the UK for liquid flow measurements.
9. Gallon (US)/Hour (gal (US)/h): Measures long-term water flow in agriculture.
10. Gallon (UK)/Hour (gal (UK)/h): Used in the UK for long-term liquid flow measurements.
