About Converting Kiloliter per Hours to Gallon per Minutes
Kiloliter per Hours and Gallon 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
gallon per minutes = kiloliter per hours × 4.4028675393
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 kiloliter per hours equals 0.000277777777778 base units, and 1 gallon per minutes equals 0.0000630901964 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct kiloliter per hours-to-gallon per minutes factor of 4.4028675393.
Simple example
1 kL/h × 4.402867539 = 4.402867539 gal/min
1 kiloliter per hours = 4.402867539 gallon per minutes.
Real-world example
60 kL/h × 4.402867539 = 264.1720524 gal/min
60 kiloliter per hours = 264.1720524 gallon per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many gallon per minutes are in 1 kiloliter per hours?
1 kiloliter per hours equals 4.402867539 gallon per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert kiloliter per hours to gallon per minutes?
Multiply the kiloliter per hours value by 4.402867539. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gallon per minutes back to kiloliter per hours?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gallon per minutes equals 0.227124707 kiloliter per hours. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a kiloliter per hours?
Kiloliter per Hours (kL/h) is a unit of flow rate.
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.
Is the kiloliter per hours to gallon per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both kiloliter per hours and gallon per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 4.402867539 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.
