About Converting Imperial gallon per Minutes to Cubic foot per Minutes
Imperial gallon per Minutes and Cubic foot 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
cubic foot per minutes = imperial gallon per minutes × 0.160543653236
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 imperial gallon per minutes equals 0.0000757681666667 base units, and 1 cubic foot per minutes equals 0.0004719474432 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct imperial gallon per minutes-to-cubic foot per minutes factor of 0.160543653236.
Simple example
1 imp gal/min × 0.1605436532 = 0.1605436532 ft3/min
1 imperial gallon per minutes = 0.1605436532 cubic foot per minutes.
Real-world example
60 imp gal/min × 0.1605436532 = 9.632619194 ft3/min
60 imperial gallon per minutes = 9.632619194 cubic foot per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic foot per minutes are in 1 imperial gallon per minutes?
1 imperial gallon per minutes equals 0.1605436532 cubic foot per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert imperial gallon per minutes to cubic foot per minutes?
Multiply the imperial gallon per minutes value by 0.1605436532. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic foot per minutes back to imperial gallon per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic foot per minutes equals 6.228835459 imperial gallon per minutes. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a imperial gallon per minutes?
Imperial gallon per Minutes (imp gal/min) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a cubic foot per minutes?
Cubic foot per Minutes (ft3/min) measures volumetric flow rate. One cubic foot of volume passing a point every minute. It is classified as a US customary flow-rate unit.
Is the imperial gallon per minutes to cubic foot per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both imperial gallon per minutes and cubic foot per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.1605436532 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.
