Unit Description
Gallon per Second (gal/s)
Definition
Gallon per second (gal/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in gallons passing through a given area per second. It's used for high-flow applications in American systems.
History
The gal/s unit developed for high-capacity water and fluid handling systems in the United States. It became useful for large pumping systems, fire protection, and industrial applications where gallon-per-minute measurements would result in very large numbers.
Current Use
Gal/s is used in large-scale water systems, fire protection, high-capacity pumps, and industrial fluid handling in the United States. It's standard for large pump specifications, fire suppression systems, and major water distribution system measurements.
Cubic Meter per Minute (m³/min)
Definition
Cubic meter per minute (m³/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid passing through a given area in one minute. It equals approximately 16.67 liters per second, providing a convenient scale for medium-scale flow measurements.
History
The m³/min unit developed as a practical alternative to m³/s for applications where flow rates were moderate and minute-based measurements were more convenient. It became common in HVAC systems, industrial processes, and water treatment applications.
Current Use
M³/min is commonly used in HVAC systems for air flow measurements, water treatment plants, industrial process control, and medium-scale pumping systems. It's standard for ventilation system specifications, cooling tower flow rates, and industrial fluid handling equipment.

Convert 1 Gallon per Second to Cubic Meter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 gal/s = 0.227125 m³/min
- Conversion Formula: m³/min = gal/s ÷ 4.40287
- Calculation: 1 gal/s ÷ 4.40287 = 0.227125 m³/min
Convert 10 Gallon per Second to Cubic Meter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 gal/s = 0.227125 m³/min
- Conversion Formula: m³/min = gal/s ÷ 4.40287
- Calculation: 10 gal/s ÷ 4.40287 = 2.27125 m³/min
Convert 100 Gallon per Second to Cubic Meter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 gal/s = 0.227125 m³/min
- Conversion Formula: m³/min = gal/s ÷ 4.40287
- Calculation: 100 gal/s ÷ 4.40287 = 22.7125 m³/min
Convert 1,000 Gallon per Second to Cubic Meter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 gal/s = 0.227125 m³/min
- Conversion Formula: m³/min = gal/s ÷ 4.40287
- Calculation: 1,000 gal/s ÷ 4.40287 = 227.125 m³/min
