Flow Rate Conversion Relationship

The flow rate in cubic feet per day (ft³/day) can be converted from gallons per minute (GPM) using the following formula:

ft³/day = GPM × 192.576

Flow Rate Input:

Flow rate measures the volume of fluid passing through a point per unit time. Common units include:

• GPM (Gallons per Minute): Standard in the US for water flow.
• GPH (Gallons per Hour): Used for slower flows.
• GPD (Gallons per Day): Common in daily water usage.
• L/min (Liters per Minute): Metric unit for medium flows.
• L/s (Liters per Second): Metric unit for high flows.
• L/h (Liters per Hour): Metric unit for low flows.
• m³/h (Cubic Meters per Hour): Used in industrial settings.
• m³/s (Cubic Meters per Second): Standard metric unit for large flows.
• ft³/day (Cubic Feet per Day): Useful for daily volume tracking.

Practical Applications

This converter is useful in various scenarios:

• Water Management: Convert GPM to ft³/day for daily water usage estimates.
• Irrigation: Standardize flow rates for agricultural planning.
• HVAC Systems: Compare flow rates in US customary units.

Example Calculation

If the flow rate is 100 GPM, the conversion to ft³/day would be:

ft³/day = 100 × 192.576 = 19257.6 ft³/day

Similarly:

• GPH = 19257.6 / 3.2096 ≈ 6000 GPH
• GPD = 19257.6 / 0.133680556 ≈ 144000 GPD
• L/s = 19257.6 / 3051.187 ≈ 6.313 L/s
• m³/h = 19257.6 / 847.552 ≈ 22.712 m³/h

Conversion Constants

Key conversion factors:

• 1 Gallon = 0.133680556 ft³
• 1 ft³ = 28.316846592 Liters
• 1 m³ = 35.3147 ft³
• 1 minute = 60 seconds
• 1 hour = 3600 seconds
• 1 day = 1440 minutes
