Gallons Per Minute Calculator Calculate flow rate in gallons per minute from volume and time, or from pipe diameter and velocity. — free online calculator.

Formula

GPM = volume (gal) ÷ time (min); or GPM = 0.4085 × D² × V (D in inches, V in ft/s)
  • Gallons Per Minute Calculator calculates its result from Volume Gal, Time Min. It uses the formula GPM = volume (gal) ÷ time (min); or GPM = 0.4085 × D² × V (D in inches, V in ft/s). Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
  • The main inputs are Method, Volume, Time, Pipe Inside Diameter, Flow Velocity. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
  • Keep measurements and project assumptions consistent before comparing or combining values.
  • Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.

Example: Gallons Per Minute

Inputs
  • Method: volume
  • Volume: 10
  • Time: 2
  • Pipe Inside Diameter: 2
  • Flow Velocity: 5

Using Volume Gal = 2, Time Min = 3, the calculated result is 0.6666666667.
