How to Convert Liter/hour to Gallon (UK)/minute
Converting Liter/hour (L/h) to Gallon (UK)/minute (gal (UK)/min) 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 Liter/hour equals 0.00366615 Gallon (UK)/minute, while 1 gal (UK)/min equals 272.7654 L/h.
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:
1 L/h = 2.777778 × 10⁻⁷ cubic meter per second (m³/s)1 gal (UK)/min = 7.576817 × 10⁻⁵ cubic meter per second (m³/s)V(gal (UK)/min) = V(L/h) × ( 2.777778 × 10⁻⁷ / 7.576817 × 10⁻⁵ ) = V(L/h) × 0.00366615Value in Gallon (UK)/minute = Value in Liter/hour × 0.0036661541Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.To convert 120 Liter/hour (L/h) to Gallon (UK)/minute (gal (UK)/min): multiply 120 by 0.00366615 to get 0.439938 gal (UK)/min. At an industrial engineering scale, 1000 L/h converts to 3.666154 gal (UK)/min.
