If you really want your interval in normalized form (like days , hours
parts...)
with versions from 8.1 and newers, you must use the justify_* function :

|SELECT justify_hours('@ 32 hours'::INTERVAL);

will give you :

 justify_hours
- ----------------
 1 day 08:00:00

and

SELECT justify_days('45 days @ 32 hours'::INTERVAL);

give

      justify_days
- ------------------------
 1 mon 15 days 32:00:00

or global function

||SELECT justify_interval('45 days @ 32 hours'::INTERVAL);

will give

    justify_interval
- ------------------------
 1 mon 16 days 08:00:00
