Explanation

Formula: Liters per Second = Gallons per Minute (US) × 0.06309. Why: the route uses liters per second as the common basis, then applies the fixed US gallon definition together with the relevant per-minute or per-hour time scaling.

Gallons per Minute (US) (gpm): a US customary volumetric flow unit based on the US liquid gallon and commonly used in pumps, piping, and water systems.

Liters per Second (L/s): an SI-style volumetric flow unit used to express how many liters move each second.

This route is useful when translating between SI flow units and gallon- or cubic-foot-based reporting for pumps, piping, ventilation, and plant documentation.

This conversion is purely multiplicative because both units reduce through one liters-per-second flow basis with fixed unit-volume definitions and no offset.

Method & Reference

Method basis: exact conversion formula shown in Direct Answer.
Applied factor: 1 Gallon per Minute (US) = 0.06309 Liters per Second.
Consistency rule: calculator output and table values use the same constants and rounding policy.
