What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms volumetric flow values expressed in US gallons per day into liters per day. It serves users who need to express daily fluid volumes in standard metric units across water management, medical dosing, and engineering fields.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in gallon (US)/day that you wish to convert
-
Select gallon (US)/day as the input unit and liter/day as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent flow rate in liters per day
-
Use the results for reporting, dosing calculation, or environmental data analysis
Key Features
-
Converts gallon (US)/day to liter/day with a precise conversion factor
-
Supports applications in water consumption, chemical dosing, and environmental monitoring
-
Uses a formula that multiplies gallons per day by 3.785411784 to get liters per day
-
Browser-based and easy-to-use interface for quick conversions
-
Suitable for low to moderate flow rate measurements over daily periods
Examples
-
5 gal (US)/d converts to 18.92705892 L/d by multiplying 5 by 3.785411784
-
0.2 gal (US)/d equals 0.757082357 L/d using the conversion factor
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting household or per-capita water consumption in the United States
-
Describing low-rate well or groundwater yields and small pump tests
-
Specifying chemical dosing rates and leak measurements in plumbing
-
Estimating solution volumes in medical treatments like dialysis
-
Tracking small-scale industrial wastewater or chemical dosing flows
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure flow measurements are averaged over a full day for accurate conversion
-
Use this tool to maintain consistency in metric units for scientific or regulatory reporting
-
Double-check unit selection before converting to avoid errors
-
Apply conversions when working with daily flow totals rather than instantaneous rates
Limitations
-
Not intended for sub-daily or instantaneous flow rate conversion
-
Accuracy depends on precise measurement of daily volumes
-
Regional unit preferences might affect the choice between gallons and liters
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the conversion factor from gallon (US)/day to liter/day?
-
1 gallon (US)/day equals exactly 3.785411784 liters per day.
-
In what contexts is converting gallon (US)/day to liter/day commonly used?
-
This conversion is widely applied in water consumption reporting, environmental engineering, medical dosing, and plumbing or wastewater treatment.

Key Terminology
-
Gallon (US)/day [gal (US)/d]
-
A volumetric flow unit representing one US liquid gallon passing a point over the course of one day.
-
Liter/day [L/d]
-
A volumetric flow unit expressing the volume of fluid in liters moved or delivered over one day.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
A measurement of the volume of fluid that passes through a point per unit of time.
