What is Gallons Per Minute?
Gallons Per Minute (GPM) is a measurement of water flow rate. It shows how many gallons of water pass through a system in one minute. It is commonly used in plumbing systems, irrigation setups, water pumps, and HVAC installations.
How It Works
The formula is simple: divide total gallons by total minutes to get flow rate.
Formula
GPM = Total Gallons ÷ Time (Minutes)
Why GPM Matters
- Helps size water pumps correctly
- Improves irrigation efficiency
- Ensures proper plumbing pressure
- Useful in HVAC system design
FAQ
What is a good GPM for a house?
Most homes require 6–12 GPM depending on usage.
Is higher GPM better?
Not always. It depends on system capacity and water demand.
Where is GPM used?
It is used in plumbing, irrigation, industrial pumps, and water treatment systems.
