About Converting Deciliter per Seconds to Gallon per Minutes
Deciliter per Seconds 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 = deciliter per seconds × 1.58503231415
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 deciliter per seconds equals 0.0001 base units, and 1 gallon per minutes equals 0.0000630901964 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct deciliter per seconds-to-gallon per minutes factor of 1.58503231415.
Simple example
1 dL/s × 1.585032314 = 1.585032314 gal/min
1 deciliter per seconds = 1.585032314 gallon per minutes.
Real-world example
60 dL/s × 1.585032314 = 95.10193885 gal/min
60 deciliter per seconds = 95.10193885 gallon per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many gallon per minutes are in 1 deciliter per seconds?
1 deciliter per seconds equals 1.585032314 gallon per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert deciliter per seconds to gallon per minutes?
Multiply the deciliter per seconds value by 1.585032314. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gallon per minutes back to deciliter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gallon per minutes equals 0.630901964 deciliter per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a deciliter per seconds?
Deciliter per Seconds (dL/s) 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 deciliter per seconds to gallon per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both deciliter per seconds and gallon per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1.585032314 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.
