About Converting Gallon per Seconds to Liter per Minutes
Gallon per Seconds and Liter 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. Both are volumetric flow rate units.
Formula
liter per minutes = gallon per seconds × 227.12470704
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 liter per minutes equals 0.0000166666666667 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per seconds-to-liter per minutes factor of 227.12470704.
Simple example
1 gal/s × 227.124707 = 227.124707 L/min
1 gallon per seconds = 227.124707 liter per minutes.
Real-world example
60 gal/s × 227.124707 = 13,627.48242 L/min
60 gallon per seconds = 13,627.48242 liter per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many liter per minutes are in 1 gallon per seconds?
1 gallon per seconds equals 227.124707 liter per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert gallon per seconds to liter per minutes?
Multiply the gallon per seconds value by 227.124707. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert liter per minutes back to gallon per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 liter per minutes equals 0.0044028675 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 liter per minutes?
Liter per Minutes (L/min) measures volumetric flow rate. One liter of volume passing a point every minute. It is classified as a metric derived flow-rate unit.
Is the gallon per seconds to liter per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both gallon per seconds and liter per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 227.124707 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.
