Why is the conversion between gallon (US)/minute and gallon (UK)/second important?

It's essential for accurate comparison and specification of flow rates when working with systems using different gallon standards in various regions or industries.

Can I convert flow rates expressed per minute directly to per second?

Yes, but you must account for the difference in time units to ensure the converted value is correct.

Are US gallons and UK gallons the same volume?

No, US liquid gallons and imperial UK gallons differ in volume, so precise conversion is necessary.
