About Converting Gallon per Minutes to Decaliter per Minutes
Gallon per Minutes and Decaliter per Minutes 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
decaliter per minutes = gallon per minutes × 0.3785411784
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 decaliter per minutes equals 0.000166666666667 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per minutes-to-decaliter per minutes factor of 0.3785411784.
Simple example
1 gal/min × 0.3785411784 = 0.3785411784 daL/min
1 gallon per minutes = 0.3785411784 decaliter per minutes.
Real-world example
60 gal/min × 0.3785411784 = 22.7124707 daL/min
60 gallon per minutes = 22.7124707 decaliter per minutes.

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.
