1 gal/s = 13627.482423142752 l/h
1 l/h = 0.00007338112565104168 gal/s
Example: convert 52 gal/s to l/h:
52 gal/s = 52 x 13627.482423142752 = 708629.0860034231 l/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.
Litre per hour
Definition: Liters per hour (L/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate. It represents the volume of a substance passing through a given point per unit of time, measured in liters per hour.
History/origin: The liter (L) is a metric unit of volume. Using 'per hour' provides a convenient timescale for processes that involve slower flow rates.
Current use: L/h is used for measuring very slow flow rates, such as in drip irrigation systems, chemical dosing, or water purification processes.
