Flow rates

Flow rate is a measurement of how much liquid or gas moves through a pipe or channel over a specific period of time, typically expressed in units like liters per minute or gallons per hour. It helps determine the speed and volume of the substance flowing, which is essential for designing and managing systems such as plumbing, irrigation, or industrial processes. A higher flow rate means more material is moving quickly, while a lower flow rate indicates a slower movement. Properly managing flow rates ensures efficiency, safety, and performance in various applications.
