What does cubic foot/second measure?

It measures the volume of fluid passing a point each second, often used in hydrology and engineering.

Why convert ft^3/s to gallon (UK)/hour?

To express large flow rates in a smaller, imperial-based unit suitable for dosing, fuel use, or leak monitoring.

Are there unit system differences to watch for?

Yes, imperial and US customary units differ, so ensure you confirm the units before converting.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms flow measurements expressed in cubic foot per second (ft^3/s), a common rate for large fluid volumes, into gallons (UK) per hour (gal (UK)/h), a unit ideal for lower volume flows in UK-based applications.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the numerical flow rate value in cubic foot/second (ft^3/s)
Select cubic foot/second as the input unit and gallon (UK)/hour as the output unit
Click the convert button to get the equivalent flow rate in gal (UK)/h
Use the results for hydrology, pump design, and dosing system calculations

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow rates between ft³/s and gal (UK)/h units
Provides conversion relevant to hydrology, engineering, and water treatment
Includes examples for understanding unit translation
Browser-based and easy to use for quick conversions

Examples

Convert 2 ft^3/s: 2 × 22423.807653654 = 44847.615307308 gal (UK)/h
Convert 0.5 ft^3/s: 0.5 × 22423.807653654 = 11211.903826827 gal (UK)/h

Common Use Cases

River and stream discharge measurement in hydrology
Designing pumps and pipes for irrigation and wastewater systems
Specifying low-volume chemical dosing rates for water treatment
Measuring small fuel or lubricant consumption in mechanical equipment
Calculating drip irrigation or leak rates in UK imperial units

Tips & Best Practices

Verify units carefully due to differences between imperial and US customary systems
Use the tool for flow rates that suit the scale of the units involved
Double-check conversion results when working with high precision requirements
Apply conversions appropriately to avoid handling extremely large or impractical values

Limitations

Large flow values in ft^3/s convert into very large gal (UK)/h values that may be impractical
Rounding errors can occur with conversions requiring high decimal precision
Imperial and US customary unit system differences necessitate careful unit confirmation

Key Terminology

Cubic foot/second (ft³/s): An imperial/US customary volumetric flow unit indicating one cubic foot of fluid passing a point every second.
Gallon (UK)/hour (gal (UK)/h): A volumetric flow rate representing one UK imperial gallon of fluid passing per hour.
Volumetric flow rate: A measure of the volume of fluid which passes through a given surface per unit time.

Quick Knowledge Check

What is the conversion factor from cubic foot/second to gallon (UK)/hour?

1 ft³/s = 45000 gal (UK)/h

1 ft³/s = 22423.807653654 gal (UK)/h

1 ft³/s = 1000 gal (UK)/h

Which application commonly uses cubic foot/second as a flow unit?

Drip irrigation systems

River discharge reporting

Fuel consumption monitoring

Why should one be cautious converting large ft³/s values to gal (UK)/h?

Because the resulting numbers may be excessively large and unwieldy

Because it is an unsupported conversion

Because gal (UK)/h cannot measure flow
