How to Convert Decilitre per second to Gallon per minuteGallon per minute
1 dl/s = 1.5850323140625002 gal/min
1 gal/min = 0.6309019640343866 dl/s
Example: convert 17 dl/s to gal/min:
17 dl/s = 17 x 1.5850323140625002 = 26.945549339062502 gal/min
Decilitre per second
Definition: Deciliters per second (dL/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate. It represents the volume of a substance passing through a given point per unit of time, measured in deciliters per second.
History/origin: The deciliter (dL) is a derived unit of volume equal to one tenth of a liter (1 dL = 0.1 L). The 'per second' component signifies a flow rate.
Current use: dL/s is not as common as L/s or mL/s. It might be used in some specific industrial applications or in academic settings for experiments involving medium-sized fluid volumes per second.
Gallon per minute
Definition: Gallons per minute (gal/min) is a unit of flow rate that represents the volume of fluid that passes a point in one minute, measured in gallons. This is a widely used measure in many industries for flow quantification.
History/origin: Like gal/s, the origin comes from the need to measure fluid flow rates in practical applications. The gallon is an established unit of volume, and the 'per minute' component allows for a convenient measurement over a manageable time interval.
Current use: It's used extensively in applications like measuring water flow in households, industrial processes, and in vehicle fuel consumption. It is a common unit for pumps, showers, and irrigation systems.
