About Converting Cubic Meter per Seconds to Imperial gallon per Minutes
Cubic Meter per Seconds and Imperial gallon per Minutes 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. Cubic Meter per Seconds is most often used for used by hydrologists and water-resource engineers internationally to report river and reservoir discharge at large scales.
Formula
imperial gallon per minutes = cubic meter per seconds × 13198.1548979
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic meter per seconds equals 1 base unit, and 1 imperial gallon per minutes equals 0.0000757681666667 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic meter per seconds-to-imperial gallon per minutes factor of 13198.1548979.
Simple example
1 m3/s × 13198.1549 = 13,198.1549 imp gal/min
1 cubic meter per seconds = 13,198.1549 imperial gallon per minutes.
Real-world example
60 m3/s × 13198.1549 = 791,889.2939 imp gal/min
60 cubic meter per seconds = 791,889.2939 imperial gallon per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many imperial gallon per minutes are in 1 cubic meter per seconds?
1 cubic meter per seconds equals 13,198.1549 imperial gallon per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic meter per seconds to imperial gallon per minutes?
Multiply the cubic meter per seconds value by 13198.1549. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert imperial gallon per minutes back to cubic meter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 imperial gallon per minutes equals 0.0000757682 cubic meter per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a cubic meter per seconds?
Cubic Meter per Seconds (m3/s) measures volumetric flow rate. The SI coherent unit for volumetric flow rate — one cubic meter of volume passing a point every second. It is classified as a SI coherent derived unit.
What is a imperial gallon per minutes?
Imperial gallon per Minutes (imp gal/min) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic meter per seconds to imperial gallon per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic meter per seconds and imperial gallon per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 13198.1549 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
Where is the cubic meter per seconds still used today?
Used internationally in hydrology and large-scale water-resource engineering
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.
