Fluid Ounces per minute to Gallons per second conversion

How to convert fluid ounces per minute to gallons per second?

To convert fluid ounces per minute (oz/min) to gallons per second (gal/s), you need to know some basic conversion factors:

1 gallon (gal) = 128 fluid ounces (oz) 1 minute = 60 seconds

Here’s a step-by-step method to convert 1 fluid ounce per minute to gallons per second:

1. Convert fluid ounces to gallons: $\text{Fluid ounces} \times \frac{1 \text{ gallon}}{128 \text{ fluid ounces}}$

So for 1 fluid ounce: $1 \text{ oz} \times \frac{1 \text{ gal}}{128 \text{ oz}} = \frac{1}{128} \text{ gallons}$

2. Convert minutes to seconds: $\text{Gallons per minute} \times \frac{1 \text{ minute}}{60 \text{ seconds}}$

So for 1 minute: $\frac{1}{128} \text{ gal/min} \times \frac{1 \text{ min}}{60 \text{ sec}} = \frac{1}{128 \times 60} \text{ gal/sec}$

$= \frac{1}{7680} \text{ gal/sec}$

Therefore, 1 fluid ounce per minute is equal to $\frac{1}{7680}$ gallons per second, which can also be written as: $1 \text{ oz/min} = 0.0001302 \text{ gal/sec}$

Real-World Examples

Now let’s consider some real-world examples for other quantities of fluid ounces per minute and their conversions:

1. 10 oz/min: $10 \text{ oz/min} \times \frac{1}{7680} \text{ gal/sec} = 0.001302 \text{ gal/sec}$

2. 50 oz/min: $50 \text{ oz/min} \times \frac{1}{7680} \text{ gal/sec} = 0.006510 \text{ gal/sec}$

3. 100 oz/min: 100 \text{ oz/min} \times \frac{1/7680} \text{ gal/sec} = 0.013020 \text{ gal/sec}

4. 200 oz/min: $200 \text{ oz/min} \times \frac{1}{7680} \text{ gal/sec} = 0.026041 \text{ gal/sec}$

5. 500 oz/min: $500 \text{ oz/min} \times \frac{1}{7680} \text{ gal/sec} = 0.065104 \text{ gal/sec}$

These conversions can help in various scenarios such as designing fluid systems, calculating filling times for containers, or understanding flow rates in different applications like plumbing, irrigation, and beverage dispensing systems.
