What does 1 gallon (US)/second represent?

It represents the volumetric flow where one U.S. liquid gallon passes a point every second.

Where is cubic foot/hour commonly used?

It is used for measuring flow rates in ventilation, gas pipelines, and low-to-moderate flow industrial systems.

Can this conversion be used for transient flows?

Caution is advised because the units have different time bases and conversion assumes steady flow.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure steady flow and standard conditions for accurate conversion results.
Use this conversion to align flow data with ventilation and gas flow engineering standards.
For highly sensitive cases, consider SI units or detailed flow parameters.
Double-check units when working with transient or pulsatile flows.

Limitations

Assumes steady flow and standard temperature and pressure conditions.
May not account for variations in fluid properties affecting volumetric equivalence.
Volumetric units have different time bases; conversion requires caution in non-steady flow scenarios.
Precision may be affected by rounding; refer to SI units for high accuracy needs.
