What does gallon (US)/second measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate as the volume of one U.S. liquid gallon passing a point each second.

How is liter/hour [L/h] commonly used?

Liter per hour is typically used to express lower to moderate continuous flow rates, such as in fuel consumption or chemical dosing.

Why convert gallon (US)/second to liter/hour?

Converting allows high flow rates to be translated into manageable units for accurate control and monitoring in processes needing smaller continuous flow measurements.
