About Converting Gallon per Seconds to Decaliter per Seconds
Gallon per Seconds and Decaliter per Seconds 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
decaliter per seconds = gallon per seconds × 0.3785411784
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 decaliter per seconds equals 0.01 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per seconds-to-decaliter per seconds factor of 0.3785411784.
Simple example
1 gal/s × 0.3785411784 = 0.3785411784 daL/s
1 gallon per seconds = 0.3785411784 decaliter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 gal/s × 0.3785411784 = 22.7124707 daL/s
60 gallon per seconds = 22.7124707 decaliter per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many decaliter per seconds are in 1 gallon per seconds?
1 gallon per seconds equals 0.3785411784 decaliter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert gallon per seconds to decaliter per seconds?
Multiply the gallon per seconds value by 0.3785411784. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert decaliter per seconds back to gallon per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 decaliter per seconds equals 2.641720524 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 decaliter per seconds?
Decaliter per Seconds (daL/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the gallon per seconds to decaliter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both gallon per seconds and decaliter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.3785411784 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.
