How to Convert Litre per minute to Gallon per secondGallon per second
1 l/min = 0.0044028675390625 gal/s
1 gal/s = 227.1247070523792 l/min
Example: convert 80 l/min to gal/s:
80 l/min = 80 x 0.0044028675390625 = 0.352229403125 gal/s
Litre per minute
Definition: Liters per minute (L/min) 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 minute.
History/origin: The liter (L) is a metric unit of volume. Using 'per minute' provides a convenient timescale for many practical applications.
Current use: L/min is a very common unit for measuring fluid flow rates in diverse applications, including medical equipment (e.g., oxygen concentrators), automotive systems, and home appliances (e.g., water softeners).
Gallon per second
Definition: A gallon per second (gal/s) is a unit of flow rate that measures the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time, specifically in gallons and seconds. It is commonly used in contexts where relatively large volumes of liquids are transferred quickly.
History/origin: The gallon is a unit of volume with historical roots in various systems of liquid measurement. The 'per second' component simply standardizes the volume measurement to a time interval. Its origin ties back to practical needs in trade and industry to quantify liquid flow.
Current use: It is used in various applications, including industrial processes, water treatment plants, and contexts where high flow rates are significant, such as in firefighting or large-scale pumping operations. It provides a clear measure of liquid flow speed.
