Example: convert 28 gal/s to in3/s:
28 gal/s = 28 x 231.00106477053293 = 6468.029813574922 in3/s
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.
Cubic inch per second
Definition: A cubic inch per second (in3/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing one cubic inch of substance passing a point in one second. It measures small to medium volumes, particularly in engineering contexts.
History/origin: The cubic inch is a unit of volume in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. 'Per second' signifies the rate of flow. It is primarily used in the US, where imperial units are still prevalent.
Current use: In3/s is used in mechanical engineering (e.g., measuring the flow of hydraulic fluids), in the design of engines and pumps, and in other industrial applications where smaller fluid volumes are handled. It is frequently used when measuring the flow of fluids in car engines.
