Common Use Cases
-
Reporting daily household water use in the United States
-
Measuring small well or groundwater yields
-
Monitoring natural gas use for residential and small commercial customers
-
Sizing low flow gas supplies to appliances and burners
-
Estimating ventilation or exhaust flow rates in systems using imperial units
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify that flow rates are steady for accurate conversion
-
Use this conversion primarily for low flow rates as intended
-
Consider the nature of the fluid—liquid vs gas—when applying the results
-
Double-check units and equipment requirements before interpreting values
Limitations
-
Assumes constant flow rates and is not suitable for pulsating flows
-
Mainly applicable to low volumetric flow scenarios
-
Differences in medium properties mean conversions should be contextualized
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does gallon (US)/day measure?
-
It measures the volume of one US liquid gallon passing a point in one day and is commonly used for low rate water flow measurements.
-
In what scenarios is hundred-cubic foot/hour used?
-
It is often applied in measuring moderate gas or air flow rates, such as natural gas usage for residential or small commercial customers.
-
Can this tool handle high flow rate conversions?
-
No, this conversion is intended for low flow rates and may not be suitable for high flow applications.
Key Terminology
-
gallon (US)/day
-
A unit of volumetric flow rate equal to one US liquid gallon passing a point in one day, used to describe daily water consumption or small flow rates.
-
hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate representing 100 cubic feet passing a point every hour, mainly used for low-to-moderate gas or air flow measurements.
-
volumetric flow rate
-
The amount of volume of fluid passing a point per unit time, expressed in units such as gallons per day or cubic feet per hour.
