About Converting Deciliter per Seconds to Gallon per Seconds
Deciliter 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 = deciliter per seconds × 0.0264172052358
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 seconds equals 0.003785411784 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct deciliter per seconds-to-gallon per seconds factor of 0.0264172052358.
Simple example
1 dL/s × 0.02641720524 = 0.0264172052 gal/s
1 deciliter per seconds = 0.0264172052 gallon per seconds.
Real-world example
60 dL/s × 0.02641720524 = 1.585032314 gal/s
60 deciliter per seconds = 1.585032314 gallon per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many gallon per seconds are in 1 deciliter per seconds?
1 deciliter per seconds equals 0.0264172052 gallon per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert deciliter per seconds to gallon per seconds?
Multiply the deciliter per seconds value by 0.02641720524. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gallon per seconds back to deciliter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gallon per seconds equals 37.85411784 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 seconds?
Gallon per Seconds (gal/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the deciliter per seconds to gallon per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both deciliter per seconds and gallon per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.02641720524 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.
