About the Flow Rate Converter

Volumetric flow rate measures volume per unit time and converts cleanly through liters per second. 100 L/min = 1.667 L/s ≈ 26.4 GPM — a common irrigation pump rating. The conversions are exact multiples: a minute has 60 seconds, an hour 3,600, and a cubic foot holds 28.317 liters.

Flow in Context

Flow connects velocity and pipe size: Q = v × A, so doubling pipe area doubles flow at the same velocity. It is the quantity that actually moves water, coolant, or gas through a system — pump curves are quoted in GPM or m³/h precisely because that is what the pump delivers.
