Why convert from gallon (US)/day to cubic foot/hour?

Converting allows users to express daily measured low flow rates in an hourly volume rate, which is often needed in engineering, HVAC, and process control contexts.

What is the conversion factor used?

One gallon (US) per day equals 0.0055700231 cubic foot per hour.

Can this conversion be used for variable flow rates?

The conversion assumes consistent flow rates, so variable or intermittent flows may reduce the accuracy or relevance of the result.
