How to convert gallons per minute to quarts per second?

To convert gallons per minute (GPM) to quarts per second (QPS), you need to know the following conversion factors:

  1. There are 4 quarts in a gallon.
  2. There are 60 seconds in a minute.

Given these, the conversion process is as follows:

  1. Determine how many quarts are in 1 gallon.
    • 1 gallon = 4 quarts
  2. Determine how many seconds are in 1 minute.
    • 1 minute = 60 seconds

To convert 1 gallon per minute to quarts per second:

1 GPM * (4 quarts/gallon) * (1 minute/60 seconds) = = 1 * 4 / 60 = 4 / 60 = 1 / 15

So, 1 gallon per minute is equal to 1/15 quarts per second.

Real-World Examples of Other Quantities of Gallons per Minute

  1. Residential Shower Head:

    • Typical flow rates for standard shower heads are about 2 GPM.
    • Conversion: 2 GPM * (4 quarts/gallon) * (1 minute/60 seconds) = 8 / 60 = 2 / 15 quarts per second.

  2. Garden Hose:

    • A standard garden hose can flow at approximately 5 GPM.
    • Conversion: 5 GPM * (4 quarts/gallon) * (1 minute/60 seconds) = 20 / 60 = 1 / 3 quarts per second.

  3. Fire Hydrant:

    • Fire hydrants can release water at a rate of about 1500 GPM (depending on pressure and hydrant type).
    • Conversion: 1500 GPM * (4 quarts/gallon) * (1 minute/60 seconds) = 6000 / 60 = 100 quarts per second.

  4. Kitchen Faucet:

    • A typical kitchen faucet runs at about 1.5 GPM.
    • Conversion: 1.5 GPM * (4 quarts/gallon) * (1 minute/60 seconds) = 6 / 60 = 1 / 10 quarts per second.

  5. Swimming Pool Pump:

    • Pool pumps may flow at around 40 GPM.
    • Conversion: 40 GPM * (4 quarts/gallon) * (1 minute/60 seconds) = 160 / 60 ~= 2.67 quarts per second.

These conversions and examples should help you understand the relationship between gallons per minute and quarts per second, along with various real-world applications of different flow rates.

See below section for step by step unit conversion with formulas and explanations. Please refer to the table below for a list of all the Quarts per second to other unit conversions.

What is Gallons per minute?

Gallons per minute measures amount of fluid passes though a cross-sectional area. In short, it measures flow rate.

Flow rate can be calculated using following formula. Please note that tt is in minutes and QQ's unit of measure is gal/minute

Q=Vt=A∗dtQ = \frac{V}{t} = \frac{A*d}{t}

QQ - Flow rate
VV - Volume (Gallons)
tt - Time in minutes AA - Cross-sectional area
dd - Distance the fluid traveled during the time tt

For more in-depth understanding of the flow rate read Flow Rate and Its Relation to Velocity from LibreTexts Physics website.

What is quarts per second?

A unit of measurement!

Quarts per second (q/s) is a unit of flow rate, which measures the volume of fluid (such as water or liquid) that passes through a given area in one second.

In the United States customary system (USCS), there are 57.75 cubic inches (in³) in a quart. So, to calculate quarts per second, we can use the following conversion:

1 quart = 57.75 cubic inches 1 second = 1 second

Therefore,

1 quart per second = 57.75 cubic inches per second

Quarts per second is often used as a unit of measurement for fluids in applications such as:

  • Water treatment and filtration systems
  • Chemical processing and manufacturing
  • Laboratory experiments and research
  • Hydraulics and pneumatics (the study of fluid mechanics)

It's worth noting that quarts per second is not a commonly used unit in the International System of Units (SI), which prefers units like cubic meters per second (m³/s) or liters per minute (L/min). However, it may still be encountered in certain contexts where USCS units are preferred.
