How to Convert Gallon per second to Gallon per hourGallon per hour
1 gal/s = 3600 gal/h
1 gal/h = 0.0002777777777777778 gal/s
Example: convert 63 gal/s to gal/h:
63 gal/s = 63 x 3600 = 226800 gal/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.
Gallon per hour
Definition: Gallons per hour (gal/h) is a flow rate unit that expresses how many gallons of fluid pass a point in one hour. It is suitable for measuring slow flow rates over extended durations.
History/origin: The unit is built upon the standard gallon unit of volume combined with a 'per hour' timeframe, useful for situations where flow rates are relatively slow.
Current use: Applications include measuring fuel consumption rates in vehicles, low-flow chemical dosing, and the monitoring of slow leaks in fluid systems.
