Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm the unit context is appropriate; gallon (US)/minute is mainly used in North America.
-
Use milliliter/second for detailed, small-scale flow measurements.
-
Validate measurement accuracy with suitable instruments for your application.
-
Consider alternative units for very high flow rates outside this tool's optimal range.
Limitations
-
Gallon (US)/minute is not commonly used internationally, which may affect standardization.
-
Although the conversion is exact, real-world measuring instruments can introduce variance.
-
Milliliter/second units are ideal for small flows but may not suit very large flow measurements.

Key Terminology
-
Gallon (US)/minute
-
A volumetric flow rate unit representing the number of U.S. liquid gallons passing a point each minute.
-
Milliliter/second [mL/s]
-
A metric unit of volumetric flow rate equal to one milliliter of fluid passing a point every second.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The measurement of the volume of fluid that passes through a point or pipe per unit of time.
