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.

Minute [gal (US)/min]

Gallon per minute (US) [gal (US)/min] is a unit of volumetric flow rate that measures the volume of liquid passing through a system every minute, using the US liquid gallon as the standard. One US gallon equals approximately 3.785 liters, so gal (US)/min quantifies the amount of fluid flowing in sixty seconds. This unit is widely used in industrial processes, water supply systems, firefighting, and chemical dosing where higher flow rates must be monitored and controlled precisely. For example, in water distribution networks, gal (US)/min is used to design pumps and pipelines to meet peak demand and ensure adequate water delivery. In industrial applications, it regulates the flow of liquids in processes such as cooling, chemical mixing, or fuel supply. Firefighting equipment often specifies flow rates in gal (US)/min to ensure sufficient water is delivered quickly to control fires. Compared to gal (US)/h, gallon per minute provides a much finer temporal resolution, allowing real-time monitoring and control of high-volume flows. Using gal (US)/min enables professionals to measure, manage, and optimize fluid transport effectively, ensuring operational efficiency, safety, and accurate delivery in both industrial and municipal contexts.
