1 day = 24 h

Conversion Basis

Time conversion is required for consolidation, seepage, flow, monitoring, and construction scheduling. This converter uses a 365.25-day average year for long-term rate conversions.

tt=tsfs→sft→st_t=t_s\frac{f_{s\rightarrow\mathrm{s}}}{f_{t\rightarrow\mathrm{s}}}

Common Examples

  • 1 day = 24 h
  • 1 week = 604,800 s
  • 1 average year = 365.25 days

Engineering Use and Limitations

  • Calendar months and years have variable lengths; this converter uses an average year where needed.
  • Confirm whether a rate specification uses elapsed time, working days, or calendar days.
  • Consolidation and creep calculations often span orders of magnitude, so retain adequate significant figures.
