About Converting Imperial gallon per Seconds to Gallon per Seconds
Imperial gallon 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 = imperial gallon per seconds × 1.2009499255
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 seconds equals 0.003785411784 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct imperial gallon per seconds-to-gallon per seconds factor of 1.2009499255.
Simple example
1 imp gal/s × 1.200949926 = 1.200949926 gal/s
1 imperial gallon per seconds = 1.200949926 gallon per seconds.
Real-world example
60 imp gal/s × 1.200949926 = 72.05699553 gal/s
60 imperial gallon per seconds = 72.05699553 gallon per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many gallon per seconds are in 1 imperial gallon per seconds?
1 imperial gallon per seconds equals 1.200949926 gallon per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert imperial gallon per seconds to gallon per seconds?
Multiply the imperial gallon per seconds value by 1.200949926. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gallon per seconds back to imperial gallon per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gallon per seconds equals 0.8326741846 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 seconds?
Gallon per Seconds (gal/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the imperial gallon per seconds to gallon per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both imperial gallon per seconds and gallon per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1.200949926 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.
