About Converting Cubic foot per Minutes to Imperial gallon per Hours
Cubic foot per Minutes and Imperial gallon per Hours both measure volumetric flow rate — how much volume passes a point over time — used to size pipes and pumps, monitor river or stream discharge, control industrial processes, and set medical infusion rates. Cubic foot per Minutes is most often used for the standard unit for rating hvac airflow, compressed-air equipment output, and fan/blower performance.
Formula
imperial gallon per hours = cubic foot per minutes × 373.730127543
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic foot per minutes equals 0.0004719474432 base units, and 1 imperial gallon per hours equals 0.00000126280277778 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per minutes-to-imperial gallon per hours factor of 373.730127543.
Simple example
1 ft3/min × 373.7301275 = 373.7301275 imp gal/h
1 cubic foot per minutes = 373.7301275 imperial gallon per hours.
Real-world example
60 ft3/min × 373.7301275 = 22,423.80765 imp gal/h
60 cubic foot per minutes = 22,423.80765 imperial gallon per hours.

What's the difference between volumetric and mass flow rate?
Volumetric flow rate measures the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time (for example, liters per second). Mass flow rate measures the mass instead. For a fluid of constant density the two are directly proportional, but for compressible fluids like gases, mass flow is often the more meaningful quantity.
