About Converting Gallon per Minutes to Cubic foot per Hours
Gallon per Minutes and Cubic foot per Hours 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. Gallon per Minutes is most often used for us residential and commercial plumbing fixture flow ratings.
Formula
cubic foot per hours = gallon per minutes × 8.02083333333
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 gallon per minutes equals 0.0000630901964 base units, and 1 cubic foot per hours equals 0.00000786579072 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per minutes-to-cubic foot per hours factor of 8.02083333333.
Simple example
1 gal/min × 8.020833333 = 8.020833333 ft3/h
1 gallon per minutes = 8.020833333 cubic foot per hours.
Real-world example
60 gal/min × 8.020833333 = 481.25 ft3/h
60 gallon per minutes = 481.25 cubic foot per hours.

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.
