Convert Gallons per 1000sq.ft to Litres per 100sq.m


What is being converted?

  • Gallons per 1000 sq.ft: This means how many gallons of water (or any liquid) are applied over an area of 1000 square feet.
  • Litres per 100 sq.m: This means how many litres of water are applied over an area of 100 square meters.

Why convert?

  • Farmers often get measurements in gallons and square feet but may need to understand or compare them in metric units: litres and square meters.
  • Metric units (litres, square meters) are commonly used worldwide and in many agricultural tools and guides.

The conversion steps:

  1. Area conversion:
  • 1 square meter (sq.m) = 10.764 square feet (sq.ft)
  • So, 100 sq.m = 100 × 10.764 = 1076.4 sq.ft
  1. Volume conversion:
  • 1 US gallon = 3.78541 litres
  1. Adjusting for the different areas:
  • The original amount is per 1000 sq.ft, but we want it per 1076.4 sq.ft (which equals 100 sq.m).

Formula to convert:

Litres per 100 sq.m=Gallons per 1000 sq.ft×3.78541×1.0764

How the calculator works:

  • You input the amount in gallons per 1000 sq.ft.
  • The calculator multiplies by the volume conversion factor (3.78541).
  • It also adjusts for the area difference by multiplying by 1.0764.
  • The output is litres per 100 sq.m.

Example:

If you have 5 gallons per 1000 sq.ft, then:

5×3.78541×1.0764=20.37 litres per 100 sq.m
