Pound/Minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) [lb/min]

Pound per minute [lb/min] is a unit of mass flow rate that measures the mass of a substance passing through a system every minute. When specified for gasoline at 15.5°C (approximately 60°F), it accounts for the density of gasoline under standard conditions, about 6.073 lb/gal (0.725 g/cm³). Expressed in lb/min, this unit is widely used in fuel handling, engine testing, and industrial fuel delivery systems where monitoring the mass of fuel over time is important. For example, an engine consuming 120 lb/min of gasoline can be analyzed to optimize fuel injection, improve efficiency, and reduce emissions. In pipelines or storage systems, lb/min allows operators to measure fuel transfer rates, manage inventory, and ensure safe and consistent delivery. Compared to lb/s, pound per minute provides a longer time-scale perspective, suitable for planning, monitoring, and operational reporting. Using lb/min for gasoline at 15.5°C allows engineers, technicians, and operators to track, regulate, and optimize fuel mass flow, ensuring efficient combustion, precise dosing, and reliable performance in automotive, industrial, and energy applications where fuel consistency is critical.

/Hour [gal (US)/h]

Gallon per hour (US) [gal (US)/h] is a unit of volumetric flow rate that measures the volume of liquid passing through a system every hour, using the US liquid gallon as the standard. One US gallon equals approximately 3.785 liters, so gal (US)/h quantifies the amount of fluid flowing in a sixty-minute period. This unit is widely used in industrial processes, water distribution, chemical dosing, and agricultural irrigation in regions where the US gallon is standard. For example, water treatment plants and pumping systems are often rated in gal (US)/h to ensure that the correct volume of water is delivered or treated each hour. In agriculture, irrigation equipment may use gal (US)/h to regulate water supply to crops efficiently. In industrial chemical processes, this unit helps control the flow of liquids for precise reactions or production requirements. Compared to gal (US)/d, gallon per hour provides finer temporal resolution, allowing better monitoring and real-time adjustments. Using gal (US)/h enables engineers, technicians, and agricultural managers to measure, regulate, and optimize fluid flow, ensuring efficiency, reliability, and proper resource management in various applications.
