Gallon per Minute to Liter per Minute Converter

Gallon per minute (gal/min or GPM) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in gallons passing through a given area per minute. It's one of the most common flow rate units in American water and fluid systems.

The GPM unit became standard in American plumbing, water systems, and fluid handling applications. It provided convenient numerical values for residential and commercial water systems, becoming the primary unit for pump ratings, plumbing design, and water system specifications in the United States.

GPM is extensively used in American plumbing, water supply systems, pumps, and fluid handling equipment. It's standard for water pump ratings, plumbing fixture flow rates, irrigation systems, and residential/commercial water system design and specifications.

Liter per minute (L/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in liters passing through a given area per minute. It provides a practical scale for many everyday and industrial flow measurements.

The L/min unit became widely adopted in various industries as it provided convenient numerical values for many common applications. It was particularly useful in automotive, medical, and laboratory applications where flow rates were moderate and minute-based measurements were practical.

L/min is extensively used in automotive fuel systems, medical equipment (IV drips, oxygen flow), laboratory instruments, and small to medium pumping systems. It's standard for fuel injection rates, medical flow meters, laboratory pumps, and aquarium filtration systems.
