Flow Rate Converters
Convert between common SI and imperial volumetric flow-rate units used in process, water, and HVAC systems.
Explanation
All flow-rate factors here are derived through liters per second (L/s). SI conversions preserve exact decimal scaling across second, minute, and hour intervals, while US/UK gallons and cubic-foot units are routed through fixed liter equivalents for consistent mirror behavior.
How to use this hub
- Choose a converter family.
- If converting to/from grams from a volume unit, select an ingredient.
- For pure unit changes (volume↔volume or weight↔weight), use universal conversions.
If your conversion includes grams, you’ll choose an ingredient; otherwise you won’t.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are US gpm and UK gpm different?
They are based on different gallon definitions: 1 US gallon = 3.785411784 L, while 1 UK gallon = 4.54609 L.
How are cfm and cfs related?
They are the same cubic-foot volume with different time bases, so 1 cfs equals exactly 60 cfm.
