About Converting Gallon per Seconds to Deciliter per Seconds
Gallon per Seconds and Deciliter 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. Both are volumetric flow rate units.
Formula
deciliter per seconds = gallon per seconds × 37.85411784
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 gallon per seconds equals 0.003785411784 base units, and 1 deciliter per seconds equals 0.0001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per seconds-to-deciliter per seconds factor of 37.85411784.
Simple example
1 gal/s × 37.85411784 = 37.85411784 dL/s
1 gallon per seconds = 37.85411784 deciliter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 gal/s × 37.85411784 = 2,271.24707 dL/s
60 gallon per seconds = 2,271.24707 deciliter per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many deciliter per seconds are in 1 gallon per seconds?
1 gallon per seconds equals 37.85411784 deciliter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert gallon per seconds to deciliter per seconds?
Multiply the gallon per seconds value by 37.85411784. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert deciliter per seconds back to gallon per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 deciliter per seconds equals 0.0264172052 gallon per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a gallon per seconds?
Gallon per Seconds (gal/s) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a deciliter per seconds?
Deciliter per Seconds (dL/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the gallon per seconds to deciliter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both gallon per seconds and deciliter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 37.85411784 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
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.
