About Converting Imperial pint per Hours to Gallon per Minutes
Imperial pint 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 = imperial pint per hours × 0.00250197901147
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 imperial pint per hours equals 1.578503e-7 base units, and 1 gallon per minutes equals 0.0000630901964 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct imperial pint per hours-to-gallon per minutes factor of 0.00250197901147.
Simple example
1 imp pt/h × 0.002501979011 = 0.002501979 gal/min
1 imperial pint per hours = 0.002501979 gallon per minutes.
Real-world example
60 imp pt/h × 0.002501979011 = 0.1501187407 gal/min
60 imperial pint per hours = 0.1501187407 gallon per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many gallon per minutes are in 1 imperial pint per hours?
1 imperial pint per hours equals 0.002501979 gallon per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert imperial pint per hours to gallon per minutes?
Multiply the imperial pint per hours value by 0.002501979011. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gallon per minutes back to imperial pint per hours?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gallon per minutes equals 399.6836086 imperial pint per hours. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a imperial pint per hours?
Imperial pint per Hours (imp pt/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 imperial pint per hours to gallon per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both imperial pint per hours and gallon per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.002501979011 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.
