About Converting Imperial quart per Seconds to Gallon per Minutes
Imperial quart per Seconds 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 quart per seconds × 18.0142488826
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 imperial quart per seconds equals 0.0011365225 base units, and 1 gallon per minutes equals 0.0000630901964 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct imperial quart per seconds-to-gallon per minutes factor of 18.0142488826.
Simple example
1 imp qt/s × 18.01424888 = 18.01424888 gal/min
1 imperial quart per seconds = 18.01424888 gallon per minutes.
Real-world example
60 imp qt/s × 18.01424888 = 1,080.854933 gal/min
60 imperial quart per seconds = 1,080.854933 gallon per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many gallon per minutes are in 1 imperial quart per seconds?
1 imperial quart per seconds equals 18.01424888 gallon per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert imperial quart per seconds to gallon per minutes?
Multiply the imperial quart per seconds value by 18.01424888. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gallon per minutes back to imperial quart per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gallon per minutes equals 0.0555116123 imperial quart per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a imperial quart per seconds?
Imperial quart per Seconds (imp qt/s) 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 quart per seconds to gallon per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both imperial quart per seconds and gallon per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 18.01424888 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.
