About Converting Cubic Meter per Seconds to Imperial gallon per Seconds
Cubic Meter per Seconds and Imperial 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. 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 seconds = cubic meter per seconds × 219.969248299
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 seconds equals 0.00454609 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic meter per seconds-to-imperial gallon per seconds factor of 219.969248299.
Simple example
1 m3/s × 219.9692483 = 219.9692483 imp gal/s
1 cubic meter per seconds = 219.9692483 imperial gallon per seconds.
Real-world example
60 m3/s × 219.9692483 = 13,198.1549 imp gal/s
60 cubic meter per seconds = 13,198.1549 imperial gallon per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many imperial gallon per seconds are in 1 cubic meter per seconds?
1 cubic meter per seconds equals 219.9692483 imperial gallon per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic meter per seconds to imperial gallon per seconds?
Multiply the cubic meter per seconds value by 219.9692483. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert imperial gallon per seconds back to cubic meter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 imperial gallon per seconds equals 0.00454609 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 seconds?
Imperial gallon per Seconds (imp gal/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic meter per seconds to imperial gallon per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic meter per seconds and imperial gallon per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 219.9692483 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.
