About Gallon per hour (GPH)
A US flow-rate unit for slow/metered flows. Used on aquarium pumps, water-feature recirculators, irrigation drip emitters, oil burners, fuel-dispensing meters, and some industrial dosing equipment. Boat fuel-flow meters also report fuel consumption in GPH, a useful figure for cruising range calculations.
About Cubic foot per minute (CFM)
An imperial flow-rate unit dominant in US HVAC — air-handler capacity, duct sizing, bathroom/kitchen exhaust fan ratings, compressed-air-system sizing, and dust collection. A residential bathroom fan is typically 50–110 CFM; a central-AC air handler for a 2,000 ft² home delivers 800–1,200 CFM. Converting CFM to m³/hr (×1.699) is common for international HVAC equipment.
