Definitions behind L/min and US gpm

Use L/min only for liters per minute and US gpm only for US gallons per minute. The liters per minute to gallons per minute scale is 0.264172052358.

Flow rate combines a volume with a duration, so both parts of the unit must be converted together. The liters per minute to gallons per minute definition is limited to liters per minute and US gallons per minute; a measure with a similar name requires its own specified method. A number without a label cannot show which side of liters per minute to gallons per minute it belongs to. Keep L/min or US gpm attached whenever the quantity is copied.

Carrying the US gpm output forward

Keep the unrounded US gpm quantity when US gallons per minute enters a total or formula. Store the input L/min amount beside it, and rerun liters per minute to gallons per minute if liters per minute changes.

The unit ratio for Liters per Minute to Gallons per Minute

One L/min maps to 0.264172052 US gpm. Reversing the liters per minute to gallons per minute scale associates one US gpm with 3.785411784 L/min.

Place US gpm above L/min in a dimensional-analysis fraction so the starting-unit symbol cancels. An reversed fraction would instead solve the reverse conversion.

Using US gallons per minute in context

In pump specifications, water systems, process lines, and equipment flow comparisons, copying an unlabeled starting number can hide whether it began in L/min. Keep the liters per minute label visible until liters per minute to gallons per minute is complete.

When several US gallons per minute values are combined, convert every input to US gpm first. Mixing L/min and US gpm in one total would make the combined arithmetic invalid even if each individual number looked reasonable.
