About Converting Hectoliter per Seconds to Gallon per Seconds
Hectoliter per Seconds and Gallon 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
gallon per seconds = hectoliter per seconds × 26.4172052358
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 hectoliter per seconds equals 0.1 base units, and 1 gallon per seconds equals 0.003785411784 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct hectoliter per seconds-to-gallon per seconds factor of 26.4172052358.
Simple example
1 hL/s × 26.41720524 = 26.41720524 gal/s
1 hectoliter per seconds = 26.41720524 gallon per seconds.
Real-world example
60 hL/s × 26.41720524 = 1,585.032314 gal/s
60 hectoliter per seconds = 1,585.032314 gallon per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many gallon per seconds are in 1 hectoliter per seconds?
1 hectoliter per seconds equals 26.41720524 gallon per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert hectoliter per seconds to gallon per seconds?
Multiply the hectoliter per seconds value by 26.41720524. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gallon per seconds back to hectoliter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gallon per seconds equals 0.0378541178 hectoliter per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a hectoliter per seconds?
Hectoliter per Seconds (hL/s) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a gallon per seconds?
Gallon per Seconds (gal/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the hectoliter per seconds to gallon per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both hectoliter per seconds and gallon per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 26.41720524 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.
