What is gallons per hour?
Gallons per minute is a unit of flow measurement. If a pump transfers 4,000 gallons of liquid in 20 minutes, the pump is operating at 12,000 GPH.
What’s the difference between US and UK gallons per hour?
Depending on where you’re at, it is important to understand that the term “gallon” may be slightly different. The US standard gallon is 128 fluid ounces, while the UK Imperial gallon is 160 fluid ounces.
Convert from GPH to GPM
GPM = GPH / 60
Convert from GPM to GPH
GPH = GPM x 60
Convert from US GPH to UK GPH
UK GPH = US GPH / 1.2
Convert from UK GPH to US GPH
US GPH = UK GPH x 1.2
