Converting from Gallon (US, liq.) per minute (GPM) to Gallon (US, liq.) per second (GPS)

What is Gallon (US, liq.) per minute (GPM)

Gallon per minute (GPM) is a unit of flow rate that represents the volume of liquid (in gallons) that passes through a particular point in a pipeline or channel in one minute.

What is Gallon (US, liq.) per second (GPS)

Gallon per second (GPS) is another unit of flow rate that measures the volume of liquid (in gallons) that flows through a specific point in a pipeline or channel in one second.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between GPM and GPS can be done using the following formulas:

GPM to GPS:GPS=GPM×0.01666667

GPS to GPM:GPM=GPS×60

Examples

1. Converting 5 GPM to GPS:

5GPM×0.01666667=0.08333333GPS

2. Converting 13 GPS to GPM:

13GPS×60=780GPM

3. Converting 8 GPM to GPS:

8GPM×0.01666667=0.1333333GPS

Conclusion

This article provides the necessary conversion formulas and examples for converting between Gallons per minute (GPM) and Gallons per second (GPS) in flow rate calculations. By understanding these conversions, one can easily switch between the two units as needed in various engineering or fluid dynamics applications.
