A chemical feed pump is set to deliver 50 GPD. What is the calibrated chemical feed in gpm?

To convert 50 gallons per day (GPD) to gallons per minute (gpm), you can utilize the relationship between these two units. There are 1,440 minutes in a day (24 hours × 60 minutes), so you can divide the total gallons per day by the number of minutes in a day to find the flow rate in gpm.

The calculation is as follows:

[ \text{Flow rate (gpm)} = \frac{\text{Total gallons per day (GPD)}}{\text{Total minutes per day}} ]

Using the numbers given:

[ \text{Flow rate (gpm)} = \frac{50 \text{ GPD}}{1,440 \text{ minutes}} ]

Performing that calculation yields approximately:

[ \text{Flow rate (gpm)} = 0.03472 \text{ gpm} ]

This equates approximately to 0.035 gpm when rounded. However, it is essential to understand that the options provided might contain a higher level of measurement or different presets for calibration. Following typical conversion factors in calibrating specific chemical feed pumps and based on standard operating conditions, the option chosen could reflect a different range of capacities
