About Converting Gallon per Minutes to Cubic feet per Millisecond
Gallon per Minutes and Cubic foot per Millisecond 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 feet per millisecond = gallon per minutes × 0.00000222800925926
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 millisecond equals 28.316846592 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per minutes-to-cubic foot per millisecond factor of 0.00000222800925926.
Simple example
1 gal/min × 0.000002228009259 = 0.000002228 ft3/ms
1 gallon per minutes = 0.000002228 cubic feet per millisecond.
Real-world example
60 gal/min × 0.000002228009259 = 0.0001336806 ft3/ms
60 gallon per minutes = 0.0001336806 cubic feet per millisecond.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic feet per millisecond are in 1 gallon per minutes?
1 gallon per minutes equals 0.000002228 cubic feet per millisecond, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert gallon per minutes to cubic foot per millisecond?
Multiply the gallon per minutes value by 0.000002228009259. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic foot per millisecond back to gallon per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic foot per millisecond equals 448,831.1688 gallon per minutes. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
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.
What is a cubic foot per millisecond?
Cubic foot per Millisecond (ft3/ms) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the gallon per minutes to cubic foot per millisecond conversion exact?
Yes. Both gallon per minutes and cubic foot per millisecond are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.000002228009259 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
Where is the gallon per minutes still used today?
United States (plumbing, pump, and irrigation industry standard)
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.
