About this conversion
This page converts us gallons per minute (gal/min) into metric cups per second (metric cup/s), two units of volumetric flow rate.
The US Gallon (gal) is a unit of volume. The Minute (min) is a unit of time.
The Metric Cup (metric cup) is a unit of volume. The Second (s) is a unit of time.
The formula is metric cup/s = gal/min × 0.252361, based on the fixed relationship between these two flow rate units.
Flow rate is calculated as a volume unit divided by a time unit, so every combination of a volume unit and a time unit forms a valid, exact flow rate unit.
