What does gallon (US)/day measure?

It measures the volume flow rate of one US liquid gallon passing a point in one day, often used for water consumption and small-scale flows.

Why convert gallon/day to cubic inch/second?

To translate daily flow rates into finer time-scale units needed for hydraulic testing, laboratory calibration, and industrial processes using imperial units.

Are temperature and pressure considered in this conversion?

No, the conversion assumes steady flow and does not account for variations in temperature or pressure that affect fluid volume.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts volumetric flow rates from gallon (US) per day, a measure primarily used for daily water consumption and small-scale flows in the US, into cubic inch per second, a unit tailored to measuring smaller, high-resolution flow rates in hydraulic and laboratory contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow rate value in gallon (US)/day that you wish to convert.
Select gallon (US)/day as the source unit and cubic inch/second as the target unit.
Click convert to obtain the equivalent flow rate in cubic inch per second.
Use the results to analyze or report flow rates suitable for hydraulic, laboratory, or industrial applications.

Key Features

Converts flow rates between gallon (US)/day and cubic inch/second using an established conversion rate.
Supports applications in water treatment, chemical dosing, hydraulic testing, and laboratory measurements.
Provides clear examples to illustrate practical conversion calculations.
Browser-based and simple to use with no installation required.
Helps translate daily volumetric flow into per-second flow for industrial and research needs.

Examples

10 gal (US)/d converts to 0.026736111 in³/s.
50 gal (US)/d converts to 0.133680555 in³/s.

Common Use Cases

Reporting household or per-capita daily water consumption within the United States.
Quantifying low-flow pumping rates for groundwater or wells in small-scale tests.
Specifying chemical dosages, leak rates, or process flows in water treatment and plumbing.
Measuring small liquid flow rates in hydraulic components and miniature pumps.
Describing dispensing rates for adhesives, lubricants, inks, or fuel in manufacturing and labs.
Monitoring leak rates or small airflow volumes in pneumatic, vacuum, and HVAC systems.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure steady flow conditions when using this conversion to maintain accuracy.
Note that flow rates measured per second result in small decimal values reflecting low daily volumes.
Double-check unit selections to avoid errors when converting between time scales.
Use appropriate precision tools or calculators when working with very small flow rates.

Limitations

The conversion assumes constant flow rates and does not factor in temperature or pressure changes.
Very low flow rates expressed per second yield small decimal numbers that require careful measurement.
This conversion applies specifically to US customary units and may not suit metric-only workflows.
