About Converting Imperial quart per Minutes to Gallon per Seconds
Imperial quart per Minutes 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 = imperial quart per minutes × 0.00500395802294
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 imperial quart per minutes equals 0.0000189420416667 base units, and 1 gallon per seconds equals 0.003785411784 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct imperial quart per minutes-to-gallon per seconds factor of 0.00500395802294.
Simple example
1 imp qt/min × 0.005003958023 = 0.005003958 gal/s
1 imperial quart per minutes = 0.005003958 gallon per seconds.
Real-world example
60 imp qt/min × 0.005003958023 = 0.3002374814 gal/s
60 imperial quart per minutes = 0.3002374814 gallon per seconds.

How do I convert gallon per seconds back to imperial quart per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gallon per seconds equals 199.8418043 imperial quart per minutes. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a imperial quart per minutes?
Imperial quart per Minutes (imp qt/min) 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 imperial quart per minutes to gallon per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both imperial quart per minutes and gallon per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.005003958023 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.
