How to Convert Gallon per second to Fluid Ounce per hourFluid Ounce per hour
1 gal/s = 460800 fl-oz/h
1 fl-oz/h = 0.000002170138888888889 gal/s
Example: convert 55 gal/s to fl-oz/h:
55 gal/s = 55 x 460800 = 25344000 fl-oz/h
Gallon per second
Definition: A gallon per second (gal/s) is a unit of flow rate that measures the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time, specifically in gallons and seconds. It is commonly used in contexts where relatively large volumes of liquids are transferred quickly.
History/origin: The gallon is a unit of volume with historical roots in various systems of liquid measurement. The 'per second' component simply standardizes the volume measurement to a time interval. Its origin ties back to practical needs in trade and industry to quantify liquid flow.
Current use: It is used in various applications, including industrial processes, water treatment plants, and contexts where high flow rates are significant, such as in firefighting or large-scale pumping operations. It provides a clear measure of liquid flow speed.
Fluid Ounce per hour
Definition: A fluid ounce per hour (fl-oz/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate that measures the volume of a fluid passing through a surface per unit of time. It represents the amount of fluid volume, measured in fluid ounces, that flows every hour.
History/origin: The fluid ounce is a unit of volume in the imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. Its historical origins can be traced back to systems of apothecary measures and later standardization for commercial purposes. The 'per hour' component indicates a rate of change over time.
Current use: Fluid ounces per hour is used in applications where measuring very slow fluid flow rates is needed, such as small drip systems, certain chemical processes, or laboratory experiments requiring slow infusion rates.
