Cubic Centimeters per second to Gallons per minute conversion

How to convert cubic centimeters per second to gallons per minute?

Sure! To convert cubic centimeters per second (cm³/s) to gallons per minute (GPM), we need to use unit conversion factors.

1 cubic centimeter (cm³) is equal to 0.000264172 gallons, and there are 60 seconds in a minute. Therefore, the conversion factor from cubic centimeters per second to gallons per minute is:

0.000264172 gallons/cm³ * 60 seconds/minute = 0.0158503 gallons per minute per cubic centimeter per second.

So for 1 cm³/s:

$1 \text{ cm}^3/\text{s} \times 0.0158503 \text{ GPM/(cm}^3/\text{s)} = 0.0158503 \text{ GPM}$

Real World Examples for Other Quantities:

1. 5 cm³/s to GPM:

$5 \text{ cm}^3/\text{s} \times 0.0158503 = 0.0792515 \text{ GPM}$

2. 20 cm³/s to GPM:

$20 \text{ cm}^3/\text{s} \times 0.0158503 = 0.317006 \text{ GPM}$

3. 50 cm³/s to GPM:

$50 \text{ cm}^3/\text{s} \times 0.0158503 = 0.792515 \text{ GPM}$

4. 100 cm³/s to GPM:

$100 \text{ cm}^3/\text{s} \times 0.0158503 = 1.58503 \text{ GPM}$

Real-World Context:

• 5 cm³/s (0.0792 GPM): This is a very small flow rate. It might be suitable for precise laboratory experiments where small quantities of liquids are being dispensed.

• 20 cm³/s (0.317 GPM): This could be similar to the flow rate of a small water fountain or a gentle stream from a garden hose nozzle.

• 50 cm³/s (0.7925 GPM): This flow rate could be typical for household plumbing fixtures like a very low-flow sink.

• 100 cm³/s (1.585 GPM): This is closer to the flow rate of a typical kitchen faucet in the United States, which is about 1.5 to 2.2 GPM.

These examples show how cubic centimeters per second flow rates could relate to real-world applications for better understanding.
