About Converting Gallon per Weeks to Gallons per Fortnight
Gallon per Weeks and Gallon 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
gallons per fortnight = gallon per weeks × 2
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 gallon per weeks equals 6.258948e-9 base units, and 1 gallon per fortnight equals 3.129474e-9 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per weeks-to-gallon per fortnight factor of 2.
Simple example
1 gal/wk × 2 = 2 gal/fn
1 gallon per weeks = 2 gallons per fortnight.
Real-world example
60 gal/wk × 2 = 120 gal/fn
60 gallon per weeks = 120 gallons per fortnight.

Frequently asked questions
How many gallons per fortnight are in 1 gallon per weeks?
1 gallon per weeks equals 2 gallons per fortnight, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert gallon per weeks to gallon per fortnight?
Multiply the gallon per weeks value by 2. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gallon per fortnight back to gallon per weeks?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gallon per fortnight equals 0.5 gallon per weeks. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a gallon per weeks?
Gallon per Weeks (gal/wk) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a gallon per fortnight?
Gallon per Fortnight (gal/fn) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the gallon per weeks to gallon per fortnight conversion exact?
Yes. Both gallon per weeks and gallon per fortnight are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 2 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.
