Water flow rate
The rate of passage of clean (prefiltered) water through a filter of defined area under defined conditions of pressure or vacuum. The flow rate may be expressed as volume/time or as time for a defined volume to pass through the filter.
FAQ Water flow rate is the rate of passage of clean (prefiltered) water through a filter of defined area under defined conditions of pressure or vacuum. The flow rate may be expressed as volume/time or as time for a defined volume to pass through the filter. Fluid flow rate (m^3/s or L/s) = area of pipe (m^2) x velocity of liquid (m/s).
