Fluid Ounces per second to Gallons per second conversion

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

To convert fluid ounces per second (fl oz/s) to gallons per second (gal/s), we need to know the relationship between fluid ounces and gallons. In the United States customary system, 1 gallon is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces.

Here is the conversion factor: $1 \text{ gallon} = 128 \text{ fluid ounces}$

To convert 1 fluid ounce per second to gallons per second: $1 \text{ fl oz/s} \times \frac{1 \text{ gallon}}{128 \text{ fl oz}} = \frac{1}{128} \text{ gal/s}$

So, $1 \text{ fl oz/s}$ is equivalent to $\frac{1}{128} \text{ gal/s}$, or approximately 0.0078125 gal/s.

Real World Examples for Other Quantities of Fluid Ounces per Second

1. 5 Fluid Ounces per Second: $5 \text{ fl oz/s} \times \frac{1 \text{ gallon}}{128 \text{ fl oz}} = \frac{5}{128} \text{ gal/s}$ $\frac{5}{128} \text{ gal/s} \approx 0.0390625 \text{ gal/s}$ Example: Water flowing from a standard garden faucet.

2. 10 Fluid Ounces per Second: $10 \text{ fl oz/s} \times \frac{1 \text{ gallon}}{128 \text{ fl oz}} = \frac{10}{128} \text{ gal/s}$ $\frac{10}{128} \text{ gal/s} \approx 0.078125 \text{ gal/s}$ Example: A fast-flowing kitchen sink tap.

3. 20 Fluid Ounces per Second: $20 \text{ fl oz/s} \times \frac{1 \text{ gallon}}{128 \text{ fl oz}} = \frac{20}{128} \text{ gal/s}$ $\frac{20}{128} \text{ gal/s} \approx 0.15625 \text{ gal/s}$ Example: A high-pressure hose used for washing cars.

4. 50 Fluid Ounces per Second: $50 \text{ fl oz/s} \times \frac{1 \text{ gallon}}{128 \text{ fl oz}} = \frac{50}{128} \text{ gal/s}$ $\frac{50}{128} \text{ gal/s} \approx 0.390625 \text{ gal/s}$ Example: A small fire hose during firefighting.

5. 100 Fluid Ounces per Second: $100 \text{ fl oz/s} \times \frac{1 \text{ gallon}}{128 \text{ fl oz}} = \frac{100}{128} \text{ gal/s}$ $\frac{100}{128} \text{ gal/s} \approx 0.78125 \text{ gal/s}$ Example: Output of a large industrial pump.

These real-world examples give a contextual understanding of fluid flow rates and the kinds of applications or situations where you might encounter such flow rates.
