About Converting Gallon per Seconds to Cubic feet per Fortnight
Gallon per Seconds and Cubic foot per Fortnight both measure volumetric flow rate — how much volume passes a point over time — used to size pipes and pumps, monitor river or stream discharge, control industrial processes, and set medical infusion rates. Both are volumetric flow rate units.
Formula
cubic feet per fortnight = gallon per seconds × 161700
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 gallon per seconds equals 0.003785411784 base units, and 1 cubic foot per fortnight equals 2.341009e-8 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per seconds-to-cubic foot per fortnight factor of 161700.
Simple example
1 gal/s × 161700 = 161,700 ft3/fn
1 gallon per seconds = 161,700 cubic feet per fortnight.
Real-world example
60 gal/s × 161700 = 9,702,000 ft3/fn
60 gallon per seconds = 9,702,000 cubic feet per fortnight.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic feet per fortnight are in 1 gallon per seconds?
1 gallon per seconds equals 161,700 cubic feet per fortnight, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert gallon per seconds to cubic foot per fortnight?
Multiply the gallon per seconds value by 161700. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic foot per fortnight back to gallon per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic foot per fortnight equals 0.0000061843 gallon per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a gallon per seconds?
Gallon per Seconds (gal/s) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a cubic foot per fortnight?
Cubic foot per Fortnight (ft3/fn) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the gallon per seconds to cubic foot per fortnight conversion exact?
Yes. Both gallon per seconds and cubic foot per fortnight are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 161700 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between volumetric and mass flow rate?
Volumetric flow rate measures the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time (for example, liters per second). Mass flow rate measures the mass instead. For a fluid of constant density the two are directly proportional, but for compressible fluids like gases, mass flow is often the more meaningful quantity.
