We do not have to do a unit conversion for this one. The units used merely determine the resultant pumping units. Equation (3.5) defines pumping number and is reproduced below:

(3.17)

Rearranging to calculate Q (pumping rate), we get:

(3.18)

Had we used SI units, the calculated pumping capacity would have been expressed as m³/s, but the physical quantity represented would have been the same.
