What is 1 gallon (US)/second in liters per minute?

1 gallon (US)/second equals 227.12470704 liter per minute.

Can this tool be used for medical oxygen flow settings?

Yes, converting flow rates to liters per minute is common for managing medical oxygen and ventilator flow.

Does the conversion apply for intermittent flows?

The conversion assumes steady flow; for intermittent flows, averaging should be applied before conversion.

Examples

Convert 2 gallon (US)/second: 2 × 227.12470704 = 454.24941408 liter/minute.
Convert 0.5 gallon (US)/second: 0.5 × 227.12470704 = 113.56235352 liter/minute.

Common Use Cases

Determining high-capacity water or firefighting pump discharge rates.
Measuring flow rates in irrigation systems and large plumbing valves.
Specifying flow rates for medical oxygen and ventilator equipment.
Estimating throughput for short-duration liquid transfer operations like tanker unloading.
Monitoring flow in laboratory peristaltic pumps and aquarium systems.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure steady and continuous flow conditions for accurate conversions.
Be aware of differences between US liquid gallons and UK gallons to avoid errors.
Use this conversion when precise metric flow rate data is required for equipment specification or regulatory purposes.
Apply averaging techniques for pulsating or intermittent flows before converting.
Double-check units before starting conversions to maintain consistency.

Limitations

Conversion assumes a steady continuous flow rather than variable or pulsating flow.
Precision differences between gallon (US)/second and liter/minute units can affect conversion accuracy.
Small flow values might be better expressed directly in liters per minute instead of converting.
US liquid gallon differs from UK gallon; incorrect unit selection may cause conversion errors.
