About Converting Kiloliter per Seconds to Gallon per Minutes
Kiloliter per Seconds 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 seconds × 15850.3231415
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 kiloliter per seconds equals 1 base unit, and 1 gallon per minutes equals 0.0000630901964 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct kiloliter per seconds-to-gallon per minutes factor of 15850.3231415.
Simple example
1 kL/s × 15850.32314 = 15,850.32314 gal/min
1 kiloliter per seconds = 15,850.32314 gallon per minutes.
Real-world example
60 kL/s × 15850.32314 = 951,019.3885 gal/min
60 kiloliter per seconds = 951,019.3885 gallon per minutes.

Reverse conversion: Gallon per Minutes to Kiloliter per Seconds
1 gal/min × 0.0000630901964 = 0.0000630902 kL/s
1 gallon per minutes = 0.0000630902 kiloliter per seconds.
kiloliter per seconds = gallon per minutes × 0.0000630901964

Frequently asked questions
How many gallon per minutes are in 1 kiloliter per seconds?
1 kiloliter per seconds equals 15,850.32314 gallon per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert kiloliter per seconds to gallon per minutes?
Multiply the kiloliter per seconds value by 15850.32314. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gallon per minutes back to kiloliter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gallon per minutes equals 0.0000630902 kiloliter per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a kiloliter per seconds?
Kiloliter per Seconds (kL/s) 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 seconds to gallon per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both kiloliter per seconds and gallon per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 15850.32314 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.
