About Converting Decaliter per Minutes to Gallon per Minutes
Decaliter per Minutes and 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. Both are volumetric flow rate units.
Formula
gallon per minutes = decaliter per minutes × 2.64172052358
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 decaliter per minutes equals 0.000166666666667 base units, and 1 gallon per minutes equals 0.0000630901964 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct decaliter per minutes-to-gallon per minutes factor of 2.64172052358.
Simple example
1 daL/min × 2.641720524 = 2.641720524 gal/min
1 decaliter per minutes = 2.641720524 gallon per minutes.
Real-world example
60 daL/min × 2.641720524 = 158.5032314 gal/min
60 decaliter per minutes = 158.5032314 gallon per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many gallon per minutes are in 1 decaliter per minutes?
1 decaliter per minutes equals 2.641720524 gallon per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert decaliter per minutes to gallon per minutes?
Multiply the decaliter per minutes value by 2.641720524. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gallon per minutes back to decaliter per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gallon per minutes equals 0.3785411784 decaliter per minutes. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a decaliter per minutes?
Decaliter per Minutes (daL/min) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a gallon per minutes?
Gallon per Minutes (gal/min) measures volumetric flow rate. The standard US unit for pump, plumbing, and irrigation flow-rate specifications. It is classified as a US customary flow-rate unit.
Is the decaliter per minutes to gallon per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both decaliter per minutes and gallon per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 2.641720524 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.
