Cubic inches per hour to Gallons per hour conversion

How to convert cubic inches per hour to gallons per hour?

To convert cubic inches per hour (in³/hr) to gallons per hour (gal/hr), you need to use the conversion factor between cubic inches and gallons. There are 231 cubic inches in a gallon.

The formula for converting cubic inches per hour to gallons per hour is as follows:

$\text{gal/hr} = \frac{\text{in³/hr}}{231}$

Now let's convert 1 cubic inch per hour into gallons per hour:

$\text{gal/hr} = \frac{1 \text{ in³/hr}}{231} \approx 0.004329 \text{ gal/hr}$

So, 1 cubic inch per hour is approximately 0.004329 gallons per hour.

Real-World Examples with Different Quantities

1. 50 Cubic Inches per Hour: $\text{gal/hr} = \frac{50 \text{ in³/hr}}{231} \approx 0.2165 \text{ gal/hr}$ This might represent a very slow leak of water from a pipe.

2. 500 Cubic Inches per Hour: $\text{gal/hr} = \frac{500 \text{ in³/hr}}{231} \approx 2.164 \text{ gal/hr}$ This could be comparable to the flow rate of a small household fountain.

3. 1000 Cubic Inches per Hour: $\text{gal/hr} = \frac{1000 \text{ in³/hr}}{231} \approx 4.329 \text{ gal/hr}$ This might represent the flow rate of a small residential water filtration system.

4. 10,000 Cubic Inches per Hour: $\text{gal/hr} = \frac{10000 \text{ in³/hr}}{231} \approx 43.29 \text{ gal/hr}$ This could be the flow rate of a larger irrigation system or a small industrial process.

These examples illustrate how this conversion can be applied to different scales in practical scenarios, from small leaks to larger water management systems.
