About Converting Gallon per Minutes to Cup per Days
Gallon per Minutes and 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
cup per days = gallon per minutes × 23040
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 cup per days equals 2.73829e-9 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per minutes-to-cup per days factor of 23040.
Simple example
1 gal/min × 23040 = 23,040 cup/d
1 gallon per minutes = 23,040 cup per days.
Real-world example
60 gal/min × 23040 = 1,382,400 cup/d
60 gallon per minutes = 1,382,400 cup per days.

Frequently asked questions
How many cup per days are in 1 gallon per minutes?
1 gallon per minutes equals 23,040 cup per days, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert gallon per minutes to cup per days?
Multiply the gallon per minutes value by 23040. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cup per days back to gallon per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cup per days equals 0.0000434028 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 cup per days?
Cup per Days (cup/d) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the gallon per minutes to cup per days conversion exact?
Yes. Both gallon per minutes and cup per days are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 23040 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.
