What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow rate values from liters per hour to US gallons per day. It simplifies comparing and working with these two volumetric flow units commonly used in engineering, water management, and chemical processing.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in liters per hour
-
Select liter/hour as the input unit and gallon (US)/day as the output unit
-
Click convert to get the equivalent flow rate in gallons per day
-
Use the results to evaluate or monitor flow-related processes
Key Features
-
Converts flow units between liter/hour and gallon (US)/day
-
Supports applications in chemical dosing, water consumption, and fuel monitoring
-
Browser-based converter for fast, accurate unit translation
-
Ideal for low to moderate continuous liquid flow rate measurements
Examples
-
2 L/h converts to approximately 12.6803 gal (US)/d
-
5 L/h converts to approximately 31.7006 gal (US)/d
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting daily household or per-capita water consumption in US customary units
-
Specifying chemical dosing rates in water-treatment and plumbing systems
-
Monitoring fuel consumption in small engines and portable generators
-
Measuring low to moderate process flows in laboratory and industrial settings
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify the time interval each unit measures to prevent misinterpretation
-
Use the converter for low to moderate flow rates to ensure meaningful results
-
Double-check measurements for accuracy when working with sensitive dosing applications
-
Apply consistent units when comparing flow rates across different systems
Limitations
-
Conversion involves different time bases (per hour vs. per day), so attention is needed
-
Measurement accuracy depends on instrument precision and flow variability
-
Not recommended for high flow rates without proper scaling due to potential rounding
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does liter per hour measure?
-
Liter per hour measures the volume of liquid flowing past a point each hour, commonly used for low to moderate continuous flow rates.
-
Why convert liter/hour to gallon (US)/day?
-
This conversion helps translate metric flow rates to US customary units for applications like water consumption reporting and chemical dosing.
-
Can this converter be used for high flow rates?
-
It may not be suitable for high flow rates without appropriate scaling due to rounding effects.
Key Terminology
-
Liter per hour [L/h]
-
A unit measuring volumetric flow rate as volume passing a point each hour, used for low to moderate continuous liquid flows.
-
Gallon (US) per day [gal (US)/d]
-
A unit measuring volumetric flow rate where one US liquid gallon passes a point in one day, used for water consumption and dosing rates.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
A measurement of the volume of fluid passing a given point per unit time.
