Select the "from" unit in the left column and follow the row until the "to" unit column.

gpm = gallons per minute, gpd = gallons per day, cfm = cubic feet per minute

Example - Convert from m3/h to Imperial gallons per minute (Imp gpm)
Volume flow in m3/h must be multiplied with 3.67to convert to Imp gpm.
