About Converting Gallon per Minutes to Imperial pint per Seconds
Gallon per Minutes and Imperial pint per Seconds 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
imperial pint per seconds = gallon per minutes × 0.111023224617
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 imperial pint per seconds equals 0.00056826125 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per minutes-to-imperial pint per seconds factor of 0.111023224617.
Simple example
1 gal/min × 0.1110232246 = 0.1110232246 imp pt/s
1 gallon per minutes = 0.1110232246 imperial pint per seconds.
Real-world example
60 gal/min × 0.1110232246 = 6.661393477 imp pt/s
60 gallon per minutes = 6.661393477 imperial pint per seconds.

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 imperial pint per seconds?
Imperial pint per Seconds (imp pt/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the gallon per minutes to imperial pint per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both gallon per minutes and imperial pint per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.1110232246 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.
