What does a gallon (US)/second measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate as one U.S. liquid gallon passing a point every second, commonly used for liquid flows.

Where is cubic foot/minute [ft^3/min] commonly used?

This unit quantifies fluid volume flow per minute, often applied in airflows for HVAC, pneumatic tools, and ventilation systems.

Can I directly compare gallon (US)/second to cubic foot/minute?

Because these units usually describe different fluids (liquid vs. gas), contextual factors must be considered before direct comparison.
