What Is This Tool?
This unit converter allows you to transform flow rate values measured in gallon (US)/day to hundred-cubic foot/day. It helps interpret small volumetric flows used in water treatment, groundwater hydrology, natural gas production, and utility metering.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in gallon (US)/day
-
Select 'gallon (US)/day' as the input unit
-
Choose 'hundred-cubic foot/day' as the output unit
-
Click convert to get the equivalent flow rate
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates between gallon (US)/day and hundred-cubic foot/day
-
Supports units commonly used for small water, gas, and chemical flows
-
Browser-based and easy to use for engineering and utility applications
Examples
-
Convert 10 gal (US)/day to hundred-cubic foot/day: 10 × 0.0013368056 = 0.013368056
-
Convert 100 gal (US)/day to hundred-cubic foot/day: 100 × 0.0013368056 = 0.13368056
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting household or per-capita daily water consumption in the United States
-
Describing low-rate well or groundwater yields and small-scale pumping tests
-
Specifying chemical dosing rates, leak rates, or process flows in water treatment
-
Measuring natural gas production and distribution pipeline flow rates
-
Engineering calculations for modest groundwater pump or wastewater influent flows
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use the converter for relatively low flow rates to ensure unit suitability
-
Verify consistent measurement conditions to avoid inaccuracies
-
Consider temperature and pressure effects when converting gas flow rates
Limitations
-
Units are intended for low flow rates and may not fit large industrial applications
-
Conversion accuracy depends on stable measurement conditions with gases
-
Different volumetric units might be necessary for very large flows
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does gallon (US)/day measure?
-
It is a volumetric flow rate representing one US liquid gallon passing a point in one day.
-
When should I use hundred-cubic foot/day?
-
It is used to express small continuous flow rates of gases or liquids in engineering and utility contexts.
-
Can this tool convert very large flow rates accurately?
-
No, this converter is designed for relatively low flow rates and may not be accurate for large-scale industrial flows.
Key Terminology
-
gallon (US)/day [gal (US)/d]
-
A volumetric flow rate that equals one US liquid gallon passing a point in one day.
-
hundred-cubic foot/day
-
A volumetric flow rate equal to 100 cubic feet passing a point in one day, used for small continuous flows.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid passing through a point per unit time.
