What does gallon (US)/second measure?

It is a volumetric flow unit representing one U.S. liquid gallon of volume passing a point each second.

Why convert gallon (US)/second to liter per day?

This conversion translates high-capacity flow rates into daily total volumes used in contexts like water consumption reporting and medical dosing.

Are there any assumptions in this conversion?

Yes, the calculation assumes a continuous, uninterrupted flow throughout the entire day.

Uses an exact conversion factor based on SI unit definitions.
Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick calculations.

Examples

Converting 2 gallon (US)/second results in 654119.1562752 liter/day.
A flow rate of 0.5 gallon (US)/second equals 163529.7890688 liter/day.

Common Use Cases

Reporting household or per-capita water consumption volumes in liters per day.
Measuring high-capacity pump discharge rates in firefighting and irrigation.
Specifying daily fluid totals for medical dosing or laboratory procedures.
Tracking wastewater and chemical dosing volumes in industrial settings.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure consistent use of U.S. gallon definitions to maintain accuracy.
Use the tool for continuous flow assumptions over a full day.
Be cautious with very large flow inputs to avoid impractical output values.

Limitations

Large flow rate conversions produce very high numeric outputs that may be impractical.
Assumes uninterrupted continuous flow over the entire day, which may not reflect real conditions.
Accuracy depends on consistent unit standards; differences in gallon definitions require adjustments.
