About Converting Imperial gallon per Minutes to Metric cup per Minutes
Imperial gallon per Minutes and Metric cup 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
metric cup per minutes = imperial gallon per minutes × 18.18436
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 metric cup per minutes equals 0.00000416666666667 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct imperial gallon per minutes-to-metric cup per minutes factor of 18.18436.
Simple example
1 imp gal/min × 18.18436 = 18.18436 metric cup/min
1 imperial gallon per minutes = 18.18436 metric cup per minutes.
Real-world example
60 imp gal/min × 18.18436 = 1,091.0616 metric cup/min
60 imperial gallon per minutes = 1,091.0616 metric cup per minutes.

What is a imperial gallon per minutes?
Imperial gallon per Minutes (imp gal/min) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a metric cup per minutes?
Metric cup per Minutes (metric cup/min) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the imperial gallon per minutes to metric cup per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both imperial gallon per minutes and metric cup per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 18.18436 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.
