gal to kilometer per hour second
Convert gal (Gal) to kilometer per hour second (km/(h·s)). Use an editable acceleration converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 Gal = 0.036 km/(h·s)
Conversion formula
One gal equals 0.036 kilometer per hour second. Multiply your value in gal by this factor to get kilometer per hour second. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 gal:5 × 0.036 = 0.18 km/(h·s)

About these measurements
Acceleration is the rate of velocity change.
The base reference used here is the meter per second squared. One gal is 0.01 base units; one kilometer per hour second is 0.2777777778 base units.
Important distinctions
Compound units must match the quantity and dimension. Temperature intervals use size factors rather than temperature offsets. Calorie and BTU entries use the explicit definitions shown.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert Gal to km/(h·s)?
Multiply the quantity in Gal by 0.036. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the kilometer per hour second to gal converter.
