Flow Rate Calculator

Understanding Flow Rate

Flow rate is a crucial measurement in fluid dynamics that represents the volume of fluid passing through a given point in a specific time period. It's essential for:

  • Designing plumbing systems
  • Sizing water treatment equipment
  • Calculating irrigation requirements
  • Industrial process control
  • HVAC system design

Common Flow Rate Units

US/Imperial

  • GPM (Gallons per minute)
  • CFM (Cubic feet per minute)

Metric

  • L/min (Liters per minute)
  • m³/s (Cubic meters per second)
