About Converting Megaliter per Seconds to Gallon per Seconds
Megaliter per Seconds and Gallon per Seconds 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 seconds = megaliter per seconds × 264172.052358
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 megaliter per seconds equals 1000 base units, and 1 gallon per seconds equals 0.003785411784 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct megaliter per seconds-to-gallon per seconds factor of 264172.052358.
Simple example
1 ML/s × 264172.0524 = 264,172.0524 gal/s
1 megaliter per seconds = 264,172.0524 gallon per seconds.
Real-world example
60 ML/s × 264172.0524 = 15,850,323.14 gal/s
60 megaliter per seconds = 15,850,323.14 gallon per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many gallon per seconds are in 1 megaliter per seconds?
1 megaliter per seconds equals 264,172.0524 gallon per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert megaliter per seconds to gallon per seconds?
Multiply the megaliter per seconds value by 264172.0524. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gallon per seconds back to megaliter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gallon per seconds equals 0.0000037854 megaliter per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a megaliter per seconds?
Megaliter per Seconds (ML/s) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a gallon per seconds?
Gallon per Seconds (gal/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the megaliter per seconds to gallon per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both megaliter per seconds and gallon per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 264172.0524 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.
