How to convert cubic inches per second to gallons per second?

To convert from cubic inches per second to gallons per second, you need to know the conversion factor between cubic inches and gallons. There are 231 cubic inches in a gallon. Therefore, to convert cubic inches per second to gallons per second, you divide the cubic inches per second by 231.

Example Calculation

1 cubic inch per second to gallons per second: $1 \text{ cubic inch per second} = \frac{1 \text{ cubic inch per second}}{231 \text{ cubic inches per gallon}} = 0.004329 \text{ gallons per second}$

Real-World Examples

Let's look at a couple of different rates of cubic inches per second and convert them to gallons per second:

10 cubic inches per second: $10 \text{ cubic inches per second} = \frac{10 \text{ cubic inches per second}}{231 \text{ cubic inches per gallon}} \approx 0.04329 \text{ gallons per second}$
50 cubic inches per second: $50 \text{ cubic inches per second} = \frac{50 \text{ cubic inches per second}}{231 \text{ cubic inches per gallon}} \approx 0.2165 \text{ gallons per second}$
100 cubic inches per second: $100 \text{ cubic inches per second} = \frac{100 \text{ cubic inches per second}}{231 \text{ cubic inches per gallon}} \approx 0.4329 \text{ gallons per second}$

Real-World Application

Residential Water Flow: A common residential water faucet flows at about 1 to 2 gallons per minute, which translates roughly to 0.0167 to 0.0333 gallons per second. In terms of cubic inches per second, it would be approximately 3.86 to 7.72 cubic inches per second.
Fire Hydrant Flow Rate: A fire hydrant can discharge around 500 gallons per minute. In terms of gallons per second, that's about 8.33 gallons per second. Converting to cubic inches per second: $8.33 \text{ gallons per second} \times 231 \text{ cubic inches per gallon} \approx 1924.23 \text{ cubic inches per second}$

By understanding these conversions and examples, you get a clearer idea of how different rates of flow might appear in practical scenarios.

See below section for step by step unit conversion with formulas and explanations. Please refer to the table below for a list of all the Gallons per second to other unit conversions.

What is cubic inches per second?

A very specific and technical term!

Cubic inches per second (in³/s) is a unit of measurement for volumetric flow rate. It represents the volume of fluid (such as air, water, or gas) that flows through a given area in one second.

In other words, if you know the flow rate in cubic inches per second, you can calculate the volume of fluid that passes through a particular point or pipe in one second.

To put this into perspective, here are some examples of volumetric flow rates and their equivalent values:

A typical household faucet flows at around 2-4 gallons per minute (gpm). This translates to approximately 0.02-0.04 cubic feet per second (ft³/s) or 1.3-2.6 cubic inches per second (in³/s).
The exhaust flow rate of a car engine is often measured in cubic feet per minute (cfm), which can be converted to cubic inches per second.
In industrial applications, such as air handling systems, flow rates are often specified in cubic meters per hour (m³/h) or liters per minute (L/min), which can also be expressed as cubic inches per second.

Keep in mind that the choice of unit depends on the specific application and industry, but cubic inches per second is a useful measure for many fluid dynamics calculations.

What is gallons per second?

A unit of measurement!

Gallons per second (g/s) is a unit of flow rate that measures the volume of liquid flowing through a pipe or container over a period of one second.

In other words, it's a measure of how many gallons of liquid are moving in a second. This can be useful for measuring the flow rate of fluids such as water, gasoline, oil, or any other liquid that needs to be transported or processed quickly.

To give you an idea of scale, here are some rough estimates:

A typical faucet flows around 1-2 gallons per minute (g/min), which is equivalent to about 0.017-0.033 g/s.
A firehose might flow around 100-200 gallons per minute, which is equivalent to about 1.67-3.33 g/s.

Gallons per second is a unit that's commonly used in various industries, such as:

Water treatment and wastewater management
Oil and gas production and transportation
Chemical processing and manufacturing
Hydraulic systems and pumps

I hope this helps you understand gallons per second!
