What Is This Tool?
This tool converts volumetric flow rates from milliliter per second (mL/s), a metric unit for small fluid or gas flows, to gallon (UK) per day (gal (UK)/d), an imperial unit commonly used in the UK for low-volume flow measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in milliliters per second you want to convert.
-
Select the target unit as gallon (UK) per day.
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent flow rate.
-
Use the result for reporting or engineering calculations.
Key Features
-
Converts flow rates from mL/s to gal (UK)/d accurately.
-
Supports applications in medical, laboratory, and UK industrial contexts.
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation.
-
Uses clear, standardized units and definitions.
Examples
-
Convert 2 mL/s: 2 × 19.005343053 = 38.0107 gal (UK)/day.
-
Convert 0.5 mL/s: 0.5 × 19.005343053 = 9.5027 gal (UK)/day.
Common Use Cases
-
Setting flow rates on syringe pumps and microfluidic devices.
-
Reporting chemical feed rates in British engineering documents.
-
Measuring small leak or drip rates in UK household water studies.
-
Controlling agricultural irrigation flow in imperial units.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure input flow rates represent steady-state conditions.
-
Confirm regional applicability due to differences between UK and US gallons.
-
Use the tool to aid in regulatory, industrial, or historical reporting tasks.
Limitations
-
Assumes constant flow without accounting for temperature or pressure effects on fluid density.
-
Applicable only where UK gallons are the standard; not suited for US gallon conversions.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one milliliter per second represent?
-
It is a metric volumetric flow unit representing one milliliter of fluid passing a point every second.
-
What is a gallon (UK) per day?
-
It is an imperial flow rate unit equal to one UK gallon of fluid passing a point in 24 hours.
-
Why is this conversion important in UK contexts?
-
It helps translate precise metric flow rates into imperial units for engineering, regulatory, and historical reporting common in the UK.
Key Terminology
-
Milliliter/second [mL/s]
-
A metric unit defining the flow of one milliliter of fluid per second, used in precise low-volume flow applications.
-
Gallon (UK)/day [gal (UK)/d]
-
An imperial flow rate unit indicating the volume of one UK gallon passing a point in 24 hours.
