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.
target time = source time x source-to-second factor / target-to-second factor
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.
