About Converting Liter per Minutes to Imperial gallon per Minutes
Liter per Minutes and Imperial 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. Liter per Minutes is most often used for household tap and shower flow rates.
Formula
imperial gallon per minutes = liter per minutes × 0.219969248299
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 liter per minutes equals 0.0000166666666667 base units, and 1 imperial gallon per minutes equals 0.0000757681666667 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct liter per minutes-to-imperial gallon per minutes factor of 0.219969248299.
Simple example
1 L/min × 0.2199692483 = 0.2199692483 imp gal/min
1 liter per minutes = 0.2199692483 imperial gallon per minutes.
Real-world example
60 L/min × 0.2199692483 = 13.1981549 imp gal/min
60 liter per minutes = 13.1981549 imperial gallon per minutes.

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.
What is a imperial gallon per minutes?
Imperial gallon per Minutes (imp gal/min) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the liter per minutes to imperial gallon per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both liter per minutes and imperial gallon per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.2199692483 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
Where is the liter per minutes still used today?
Common household and light-industrial flow specification worldwide
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.
