Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow between gallon (US)/second and gallon (US)/minute units
-
Shows practical examples of the conversion
-
Useful for a wide range of flow measurements including water treatment, irrigation, HVAC, and fuel transfer
-
Browser-based and easy to use for quick calculations
Examples
-
2 gallon (US)/second converts to 120 gallon (US)/minute
-
0.5 gallon (US)/second converts to 30 gallon (US)/minute
Common Use Cases
-
Adapting high-capacity pump discharge rates for residential or commercial plumbing
-
Measuring flow in irrigation or industrial water management systems
-
Evaluating HVAC water flow and cooling tower circulation rates
-
Estimating fuel or liquid transfer rates in automotive and small-engine applications
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the flow is measured under steady conditions for accurate conversion
-
Use this conversion to match flow data to time intervals commonly used in your industry
-
Consider flow pulsations or fluid properties if your system has sensitive components
Limitations
-
Assumes steady flow without accounting for fluctuations or pulsations
-
Does not consider temperature or pressure effects on volumetric flow
-
Not suitable for non-Newtonian fluids without additional considerations
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the conversion factor between gallon (US)/second and gallon (US)/minute?
-
One gallon (US) per second equals 60 gallon (US) per minute.
-
Can I use this conversion for fluctuating flow rates?
-
This conversion assumes steady flow conditions; variable flows may require averaging.
-
Is this conversion affected by temperature or pressure?
-
No, the conversion does not take into account temperature or pressure changes that affect flow rates.
Key Terminology
-
Gallon (US)/second
-
A volumetric flow rate equal to one U.S. liquid gallon passing a point every second.
-
Gallon (US)/minute
-
A volumetric flow rate expressing the number of U.S. liquid gallons passing a point each minute.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The quantity of volume passing through a point per unit time, commonly measured in gallons per second or minute.
