1 gal/min = 0.06309019640343866 l/s
1 l/s = 15.850323140625001 gal/min
Example: convert 86 gal/min to l/s:
86 gal/min = 86 x 0.06309019640343866 = 5.425756890695725 l/s
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.
Litre per second
Definition: Liters per second (L/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 liters per second.
History/origin: The liter (L) is a metric unit of volume. Its use dates back to the French Revolution. The 'per second' component makes it a measure of flow rate.
Current use: L/s is a frequently used unit for measuring fluid flow rates in various applications, including water supply systems, industrial processes, and environmental monitoring.
