Explanation

Formula: Gallons per Minute (US) = Liters per Minute × 0.264172. 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.

Liters per Minute (L/min): a practical volumetric flow unit commonly used for pumps, plumbing, dosing, and process equipment.

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.

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
