What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to convert volumetric flow units from the UK imperial gallon per hour to the US customary cubic yard per second. It supports accurate translation of flow rates between small-scale imperial measurements and large-scale US customary volumes.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in gallon (UK)/hour
-
Select gallon (UK)/hour as the input unit and cubic yard/second as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent flow in cubic yard/second
Key Features
-
Converts flow rates between gallon (UK)/hour and cubic yard/second units
-
Includes practical examples for easy understanding
-
Ideal for water-treatment, irrigation, and hydrology applications
Examples
-
100 gal (UK)/h equals 0.00016516836751854 yd^3/s
-
5000 gal (UK)/h equals 0.008258418375927 yd^3/s
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying low-volume pump or chemical dosing rates in UK-based water systems
-
Reporting small fuel or lubricant consumption in imperial units
-
Sizing irrigation canals and flood flow systems in US customary units
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure correct unit selection before converting to avoid errors
-
Use the tool to compare imperial and US customary flow measurements for compatibility
-
Consider the scale difference between small and large flow rates when interpreting results
Limitations
-
Units represent very different flow scales; direct conversion requires attention to scale context
-
Conversion accuracy depends on using the correct constants and understanding the measurement context
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 gallon (UK)/hour represent?
-
It is a volumetric flow of one UK imperial gallon of fluid passing each hour.
-
Why convert gallon (UK)/hour to cubic yard/second?
-
To translate small-volume imperial flows into large-scale US customary volumetric rates for compatibility across systems.
-
Are these units suitable for the same flow ranges?
-
No, gallon (UK)/hour is for small precise flows, while cubic yard/second applies to large volumes.
Key Terminology
-
Gallon (UK)/hour [gal (UK)/h]
-
A flow rate of one imperial gallon passing per hour, used for small-volume flows.
-
Cubic yard/second [yd^3/s]
-
A volumetric flow rate representing one cubic yard passing per second, common in US engineering.
