About Converting Imperial gallon per Seconds to Gallon per Minutes
Imperial gallon 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 = imperial gallon per seconds × 72.0569955303
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 imperial gallon per seconds equals 0.00454609 base units, and 1 gallon per minutes equals 0.0000630901964 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct imperial gallon per seconds-to-gallon per minutes factor of 72.0569955303.
Simple example
1 imp gal/s × 72.05699553 = 72.05699553 gal/min
1 imperial gallon per seconds = 72.05699553 gallon per minutes.
Real-world example
60 imp gal/s × 72.05699553 = 4,323.419732 gal/min
60 imperial gallon per seconds = 4,323.419732 gallon per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many gallon per minutes are in 1 imperial gallon per seconds?
1 imperial gallon per seconds equals 72.05699553 gallon per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert imperial gallon per seconds to gallon per minutes?
Multiply the imperial gallon per seconds value by 72.05699553. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gallon per minutes back to imperial gallon per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gallon per minutes equals 0.0138779031 imperial gallon per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a imperial gallon per seconds?
Imperial gallon per Seconds (imp gal/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 imperial gallon per seconds to gallon per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both imperial gallon per seconds and gallon per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 72.05699553 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.
