1. What is the CC to GPM Conversion?

The CC to GPM conversion calculates the flow rate in gallons per minute based on the displacement in cubic centimeters and the rotational speed in revolutions per minute. This is particularly useful in fluid dynamics and pump performance calculations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the conversion formula:

\[ GPM = \frac{CC \times RPM}{3785} \]

Where:

\( GPM \) — Gallons per minute
\( CC \) — Cubic centimeters (displacement volume)
\( RPM \) — Revolutions per minute
\( 3785 \) — Conversion factor (cubic centimeters per gallon)

Explanation: The formula converts the volumetric displacement per revolution to flow rate by multiplying by the rotational speed and converting from cubic centimeters to gallons.

3. Importance of Flow Rate Calculation

Details: Accurate flow rate calculation is essential for pump selection, system design, and performance evaluation in various industrial and mechanical applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the displacement volume in cubic centimeters and the rotational speed in revolutions per minute. Both values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is 3785 used as the conversion factor?
A: 3785 is the number of cubic centimeters in one US gallon, making it the appropriate conversion factor for this calculation.

Q2: Can this formula be used for all types of pumps?
A: This formula works best for positive displacement pumps where each revolution moves a specific volume of fluid.

Q3: What are typical GPM values for industrial pumps?
A: GPM values vary widely depending on pump size and application, ranging from fractions of a GPM to thousands of GPM.

Q4: Does this calculation account for pump efficiency?
A: No, this calculation provides the theoretical flow rate. Actual flow rates may be lower due to efficiency losses and system restrictions.

Q5: Can I use this for metric to imperial conversions?
A: Yes, this calculator specifically converts from cubic centimeters (metric) to gallons per minute (imperial/US customary).
