GPM to Velocity Calculator, Formula, GPM to Velocity Calculation

GPM to Velocity Calculator:

Enter the values of Gallons Per Minute  GPM & Cross Sectional Area _ft² to determine the value of GPM to Velocity V_(ft/s) .

GPM to Velocity Formula:

The GPM to Velocity V_(ft/s) in feet per second is equal to the Gallons per minute GPM is divided by the 7.481 to multiply the Cross Sectional Area A_(ft²₎ in feet square and again divided by the value of 60.

The Equation of GPM to Velocity can be writtern as,

V_(ft/s) = GPM / 7.481 / A_(ft²₎ / 60

Here,

V_(ft/s) = GPM to Velocity in feet per second

GPM = Gallons per minute

A_(ft²₎ = Cross Sectional Area in feet square

Example problems for GPM to Velocity:

1)Calculate the GPM to Velocity and given for Gallons per minute = 300 , Cross Sectional Area = 4ft².

Answer

V = GPM / 7.481 / A / 60

V = 300 / 7.481 / 4 / 60

V = 0.167ft/s.

2)Calculate the Cross Sectional Area and given for Gallons per minute = 300 , GPM to Velocity = 0.167ft/s.

Answer

V = GPM / 7.481 / A / 60

0.167 = 300 / 7.481 / A / 60

A = 4ft².
