About Converting Centiliter per Seconds to Gallon per Seconds
Centiliter per Seconds and Gallon per Seconds both measure volumetric flow rate — how much volume passes a point over time — used to size pipes and pumps, monitor river or stream discharge, control industrial processes, and set medical infusion rates. Both are volumetric flow rate units.
Formula
gallon per seconds = centiliter per seconds × 0.00264172052358
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centiliter per seconds equals 0.00001 base units, and 1 gallon per seconds equals 0.003785411784 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centiliter per seconds-to-gallon per seconds factor of 0.00264172052358.
Simple example
1 cL/s × 0.002641720524 = 0.0026417205 gal/s
1 centiliter per seconds = 0.0026417205 gallon per seconds.
Real-world example
60 cL/s × 0.002641720524 = 0.1585032314 gal/s
60 centiliter per seconds = 0.1585032314 gallon per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many gallon per seconds are in 1 centiliter per seconds?
1 centiliter per seconds equals 0.0026417205 gallon per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centiliter per seconds to gallon per seconds?
Multiply the centiliter per seconds value by 0.002641720524. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gallon per seconds back to centiliter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gallon per seconds equals 378.5411784 centiliter per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a centiliter per seconds?
Centiliter per Seconds (cL/s) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a gallon per seconds?
Gallon per Seconds (gal/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the centiliter per seconds to gallon per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both centiliter per seconds and gallon per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.002641720524 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between volumetric and mass flow rate?
Volumetric flow rate measures the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time (for example, liters per second). Mass flow rate measures the mass instead. For a fluid of constant density the two are directly proportional, but for compressible fluids like gases, mass flow is often the more meaningful quantity.
