What Is This Tool?
This tool enables you to convert volumetric flow rates expressed in gallon (US) per second into cubic meter per day, facilitating easy interpretation of instantaneous flow rates in terms of daily volumes.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in gallon (US) per second that you want to convert.
-
Select gallon (US)/second as the original unit and cubic meter/day [m³/d] as the target unit.
-
Trigger the conversion to receive the equivalent volumetric flow in cubic meter per day.
Key Features
-
Converts between gallon (US)/second and cubic meter/day flow units accurately.
-
Supports common applications in water management, irrigation, and industrial fluid processes.
-
Provides straightforward conversion using a fixed established rate.
-
Accessible browser-based interface for quick and easy use.
Examples
-
Convert 2 gallon (US)/second to cubic meter/day: 2 × 327.0595781376 = 654.1191562752 m³/d.
-
Convert 0.5 gallon (US)/second to cubic meter/day: 0.5 × 327.0595781376 = 163.5297890688 m³/d.
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying pump discharge rates in high-capacity firefighting and water systems.
-
Monitoring irrigation system flow and industrial process water volumes.
-
Reporting municipal water supply and treatment plant daily inflow/outflow volumes.
-
Expressing hydrocarbon production or delivery volumes on a daily basis.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this conversion to express rapid flow rates as daily totals for easier analysis.
-
Choose flow units suitable for your industry’s reporting or process control needs.
-
Ensure steady flow conditions when applying this conversion to maintain accuracy.
-
Cross-check flow measurements when transitioning between instantaneous and daily units.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes steady flow without accounting for rate fluctuations over time.
-
Industries may prefer either instantaneous or daily flow units based on regulation and process specifics.

Key Terminology
-
Gallon (US)/second
-
A volumetric flow rate representing one U.S. liquid gallon passing a point each second.
-
Cubic meter/day [m³/d]
-
A flow rate unit denoting one cubic meter of fluid passing a point or consumed over a 24-hour period.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid flowing through a surface per unit time.
