About Converting Gallon per Minutes to Metric cup per Days
Gallon per Minutes and Metric cup per Days 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
metric cup per days = gallon per minutes × 21803.9718758
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 metric cup per days equals 2.893519e-9 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per minutes-to-metric cup per days factor of 21803.9718758.
Simple example
1 gal/min × 21803.97188 = 21,803.97188 metric cup/d
1 gallon per minutes = 21,803.97188 metric cup per days.
Real-world example
60 gal/min × 21803.97188 = 1,308,238.313 metric cup/d
60 gallon per minutes = 1,308,238.313 metric cup per days.

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 metric cup per days?
Metric cup per Days (metric cup/d) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the gallon per minutes to metric cup per days conversion exact?

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.
