About Converting Liter per Minutes to Gallon per Hours
Liter per Minutes and Gallon per Hours 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
gallon per hours = liter per minutes × 15.8503231415
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 gallon per hours equals 0.00000105150327333 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct liter per minutes-to-gallon per hours factor of 15.8503231415.
Simple example
1 L/min × 15.85032314 = 15.85032314 gal/h
1 liter per minutes = 15.85032314 gallon per hours.
Real-world example
60 L/min × 15.85032314 = 951.0193885 gal/h
60 liter per minutes = 951.0193885 gallon per hours.

Frequently asked questions
How many gallon per hours are in 1 liter per minutes?
1 liter per minutes equals 15.85032314 gallon per hours, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert liter per minutes to gallon per hours?
Multiply the liter per minutes value by 15.85032314. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gallon per hours back to liter per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gallon per hours equals 0.0630901964 liter per minutes. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
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 gallon per hours?
Gallon per Hours (gal/h) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the liter per minutes to gallon per hours conversion exact?
Yes. Both liter per minutes and gallon per hours are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 15.85032314 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.
