How to Convert Liters per Second to GPH

To convert liters per second to gph, multiply the flow rate by the following conversion ratio: 951.0193885 gph/liters per second.

Since one liters per second is equal to 951.0193885 gph, you can use this simple formula to convert:

gph = liters per second × 951.0193885

The flow rate in gph is equal to the flow rate in liters per second multiplied by 951.0193885.

For example, here's how to convert 5 liters per second to gph using the formula above.

gph = (5 L/s × 951.0193885) = 4,755.0969424 GPH

How Many GPH Are in a Liters per Second?

There are 951.0193885 gph in a liters per second, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 L/s = 951.0193885 GPH|1 GPH = 0.0010515 L/s

Our liters per second to us gallons per hour calculator automatically converts your flow rate measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.

Liters per Second and gph are both units used to measure flow rate. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.

What Is a Liters per Second?

A liters per second is a unit of flow rate equal to 60 liters per minute (L/min), the base unit for flow rate. Equal to 60 L/min. [1]

The liters per second is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of flow rate. Liters per Second can be abbreviated as L/s; for example, 1 liters per second can be written as 1 L/s.

When working with liters per second (L/s) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.

In practice, liters per second (L/s) are widely used across standard flow rate applications within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.

What Is a US Gallons per Hour?

A us gallons per hour is a unit of flow rate equal to 0.0630902 liters per minute (L/min), the base unit for flow rate. Equal to 1/60 GPM (0.06309 L/min). [2]

The us gallons per hour is classified as a US customary unit of flow rate. GPH can be abbreviated as GPH; for example, 1 us gallons per hour can be written as 1 GPH.

When working with gph (GPH) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.

In practice, gph (GPH) are widely used across standard flow rate applications within US customary workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.

When converting flow rate between liters per second (L/s) and gph (GPH), keep full floating-point precision (1 L/s = 951.0193885 GPH; 1 GPH = 0.0010515 L/s) during intermediate calculations and round only the final us gallons per hour figure to match your instrument tolerance.
