What does gallon (UK)/minute measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate as the number of UK gallons flowing per minute, commonly used in imperial unit systems.

When should I use cubic foot/second instead of gallon (UK)/minute?

Cubic foot/second is preferred for larger scale fluid flow measurements like river discharge or major hydraulic system design.

How is the conversion between gallon (UK)/minute and cubic foot/second calculated?

The conversion multiplies the value in gallon (UK)/minute by 0.0026757276 to get the equivalent cubic foot/second.
