1 US gallon/minute in every other flow unit
Computed by the same engine that runs the converter above, so these can never drift apart from it.

What each unit actually is
Most converters give you a number and stop. Where a figure is exact by definition we say so, and where it is an average or shifts with conditions we say that too — that is usually the thing you needed to know.
| Unit | Symbol | What it actually is |
|---|---|---|
| cubic meter/second | m³/s | SI. |
| liter/second | L/s | |
| liter/minute | L/min | |
| cubic meter/hour | m³/h | |
| US gallon/minute | gpm | The US plumbing and pump unit. |
| cubic foot/minute | cfm | How fans and compressors are rated. |
| US gallon/hour | gph | |
| imperial gallon/minute | gpm (imp) | About 20% more water than a US gpm. |
