What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to change volumetric flow rates from gallon (UK) per hour to liter per day, facilitating unit conversion in contexts like water treatment, chemical dosing, and medical applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value you want to convert in gallon (UK)/hour
-
Select the output unit as liter/day
-
Click convert to obtain the equivalent flow rate in liter/day
Key Features
-
Converts flow rates from gallon (UK)/hour to liter/day with a clear conversion factor
-
Browser-based and easy to use without software installation
-
Supports common flow measurement units used in industry and laboratories
Examples
-
Convert 2 gal (UK)/h to liter/day: 2 × 109.10616 = 218.21232 L/d
-
Convert 0.5 gal (UK)/h to liter/day: 0.5 × 109.10616 = 54.55308 L/d
Common Use Cases
-
Expressing low-volume pump or chemical dosing rates in UK water-treatment systems
-
Reporting small fuel or lubricant consumption for equipment using imperial units
-
Specifying drip irrigation or leak rates in terms of imperial gallons per hour
-
Tracking household water consumption in liters per day
-
Measuring solution volumes in medical and laboratory procedures
-
Monitoring industrial wastewater and chemical dosing over daily periods
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure you confirm the gallon type is UK (imperial) to avoid conversion errors
-
Use this tool for steady flow rates as it does not account for fluctuating values
-
Apply conversions when transitioning from imperial to metric units in flow measurements
Limitations
-
Assumes constant flow rates without time-based variability
-
Accuracy depends on the exactness of the imperial gallon definition
-
Not suitable if volume definitions vary by region (e.g., US vs UK gallon)
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a gallon (UK)/hour?
-
It is a volumetric flow rate representing one UK (imperial) gallon of fluid moved per hour, with one gallon equal to 4.54609 liters.
-
Why convert gallon (UK)/hour to liter/day?
-
Converting to liter/day helps express flow rates in a commonly recognized metric unit for daily fluid volumes, useful in water treatment, environmental, and medical contexts.
-
Can I use this conversion for US gallons?
-
No, this tool specifically converts from UK (imperial) gallons per hour; using US gallons will lead to inaccurate results.
