Gallons to Minutes Calculator

Convert gallons of water flow to flow time in minutes for irrigation or water systems

Input Parameters

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Time (minutes) = Gallons / Flow Rate (GPM)

Where:
Time (minutes) = Total time in minutes to deliver the specified gallons
Gallons = Total volume of water to be delivered
Flow Rate (GPM) = Rate at which water is flowing (gallons per minute)

Gallons to Minutes Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Gallons to Minutes Calculator for irrigation planning and water management

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the total volume of water you want to deliver in gallons.
  2. Enter the flow rate of your water source in gallons per minute (GPM). This can typically be found on your water system specifications.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to determine the time required to deliver the specified gallons.
  4. The result will be displayed in minutes. This helps in planning irrigation schedules or water delivery operations.

Example Usage

Suppose you want to fill a 50-gallon tank and your water source has a flow rate of 5 GPM. Using the calculator:

  • Input 50 in the Gallons field
  • Input 5 in the Flow Rate field
  • Click Calculate
  • The result will be 10 minutes (50 gallons รท 5 GPM = 10 minutes)

Practical Applications

This calculator is particularly useful for:

  • Irrigation system planning
  • Water storage tank filling calculations
  • Emergency water delivery planning
  • Water conservation projects

Note: Ensure your flow rate measurement is consistent with your volume measurement (US gallons). For metric systems, use liters and liters per minute instead.
