What does 1 gallon (US)/second represent?

It represents a volumetric flow rate where one U.S. liquid gallon of volume passes a point each second.

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

Converting allows translation of flow rates into metric units commonly used internationally and in engineering fields.

Can I use this tool for compressible fluids?

The conversion assumes incompressible fluids, so accuracy for compressible fluids may be affected.
