About Converting Imperial gallon per Minutes to Imperial gallon per Seconds
Imperial gallon per Minutes and Imperial 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
imperial gallon per seconds = imperial gallon per minutes × 0.0166666666667
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 imperial gallon per seconds equals 0.00454609 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct imperial gallon per minutes-to-imperial gallon per seconds factor of 0.0166666666667.
Simple example
1 imp gal/min × 0.01666666667 = 0.0166666667 imp gal/s
1 imperial gallon per minutes = 0.0166666667 imperial gallon per seconds.
Real-world example
60 imp gal/min × 0.01666666667 = 1 imp gal/s
60 imperial gallon per minutes = 1 imperial gallon per seconds.

How do I convert imperial gallon per seconds back to imperial gallon per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 imperial gallon per seconds equals 60 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 imperial gallon per seconds?
Imperial gallon per Seconds (imp gal/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the imperial gallon per minutes to imperial gallon per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both imperial gallon per minutes and imperial gallon per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.01666666667 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.
