How to Convert Gallon (UK)/minute to Liter/second

Converting Gallon (UK)/minute (gal (UK)/min) to Liter/second (L/s) is a core calculation in Volumetric Flow Rate, which quantifies the volume of fluid passing through a designated conduit cross-section per unit of time. This calculation navigates the boundary between the International Metric System (SI) and British Imperial / US Customary engineering standards. In contemporary metrology, Imperial units are defined in terms of exact SI standards via international agreements—notably NIST SP 811 and the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement. Exactly 1 Gallon (UK)/minute equals 0.0757682 Liter/second, while 1 L/s equals 13.198155 gal (UK)/min.

Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (cubic meter per second (m³/s)) without arbitrary rounding:

Vtarget=Vsource×(ksource→SIktarget→SI)V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)
Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)
1. Source SI Bridge (ksource):1 gal (UK)/min = 7.576817 × 10⁻⁵ cubic meter per second (m³/s)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 L/s = 0.001 cubic meter per second (m³/s)
Step-by-step substitution for Gallon (UK)/minute → Liter/second:V(L/s) = V(gal (UK)/min) × ( 7.576817 × 10⁻⁵ / 0.001 ) = V(gal (UK)/min) × 0.0757682
Mathematical FormulaValue in Liter/second = Value in Gallon (UK)/minute × 0.075768167Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.
Worked Example

Evaluating an input of 2.5 Gallon (UK)/minute (gal (UK)/min) produces 0.18942 Liter/second (L/s). In heavy-duty utility and industrial workloads, 480 gal (UK)/min equals 36.36872 L/s.

Inverse check: 1 L/s = 13.198155 gal (UK)/min.
