Units of Volume Flow

Description

 • Volume flow has the dimension length cubed over time. The SI composite unit of volume flow is the cubic meter per second.
 • Maple knows the units of volume flow listed in the following table.

 Name Symbols Context Alternate Spellings Prefixes gallon_per_minute gpm US_liquid * gallons_per_minute UK US_dry cubic_foot_per_minute cfm standard * cubic_feet_per_minute

 An asterisk ( * ) indicates the default context, an at sign (@) indicates an abbreviation, and under the prefixes column, SI indicates that the unit takes all SI prefixes, IEC indicates that the unit takes IEC prefixes, and SI+ and SI- indicate that the unit takes only positive and negative SI prefixes, respectively.  Refer to a unit in the Units package by indexing the name or symbol with the context, for example, gallon_per_minute[US_liquid] or cfm[standard]; or, if the context is indicated as the default, by using only the unit name or symbol, for example, gallon_per_minute or cfm.
 The units of volume flow are defined as follows.
 A US liquid, US dry, or UK gallon per minute is defined as a gallon of the same context per minute.
 A standard cubic foot per minute is defined as a cubic standard foot per minute.
