Flow Meter Conversion Chart PDF: Instantly Convert GPM, LPM, and M3/H Volumetric Rates
Quick Answer
Convert GPM to LPM by multiplying by 3.78541. Convert m3/h to LPM by multiplying by 16.6667. Silver Instruments supplies a free flow meter conversion chart PDF for engineers and procurement teams who need a fast field reference without opening an app. The chart covers volumetric flow rate conversion for GPM, LPM, and m3/h.
Why a Printed Flow Meter Conversion Chart Still Works
A pump curve may show m3/h. A flow meter may display LPM. A control room may record GPM. This mix causes mistakes. We have seen this on customer sites many times. In a paint factory in Vietnam, a batch ticket asked for 60 LPM. The operator set the pump to 60 GPM. That is 227 LPM. The batch was ruined. A one page conversion chart near the pump solved the problem.
Most engineers skip this part. They trust the PLC conversion. But during commissioning or calibration, you need a manual check. The PDF chart works even when the HART signal is not stable. In practice, a paper chart next to a flow meter display saves time and reduces operator error.
GPM to LPM and M3/H Formulas
Here are the base formulas. Keep them in your logbook.
LPM equals GPM multiplied by 3.78541. M3/h equals LPM multiplied by 0.06. GPM equals m3/h multiplied by 4.40287.
Example: 50 GPM equals 189.27 LPM. Example: 10 m3/h equals 166.67 LPM. Example: 300 LPM equals 18 m3/h. The chart includes common values from 0.5 GPM to 2000 GPM and 0.1 m3/h to 500 m3/h.
Common Pipe Sizes and Flow Ranges
DN15 to DN50 lines often run between 2 and 120 LPM. DN80 to DN150 lines commonly run from 10 to 400 m3/h depending on fluid. A seawater desalination plant in Saudi Arabia needed a flow meter for 250 m3/h feed water. That is 4166.7 LPM. We proposed an electromagnetic flow meter on a DN150 line. Before quoting, we asked for pipe size, pressure, and temperature. This is the right way.
For a dairy plant in New Zealand, the cle
Recommended Silver Instruments Flow Meters by Fluid
For clean water and wastewater, use an electromagnetic flow meter. It outputs volumetric flow in m3/h, LPM, or GPM directly. For diesel and lubricating oil, use an oval gear flow meter. It measures actual volume with high repeatability. A customer in Malaysia ordered an oval gear flow meter for a palm oil line at DN40, 10 bar, 80 degrees Celsius, and 30 LPM. For gas or steam, use a vortex flow meter. If the area is ATEX Zone 1, specify the approval at order time. For syrup, paste, or molasses, a Coriolis mass flow meter gives mass flow and density. We can set the local display unit before shipment.
All units can be configured through the local display or 4-20 mA HART. We calibrate each meter to your specified range at our facility.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert GPM to LPM? Multiply GPM by 3.78541. 20 GPM is 75.71 LPM.
How do I convert m3/h to GPM? Multiply m3/h by 4.40287. 50 m3/h is 220.14 GPM.
What is the formula for m3/h to LPM? Multiply m3/h by 16.6667. 12 m3/h is 200 LPM.
Does the flow meter display units change? Most Silver Instruments flow meters let you change the engineering unit through the local display or HART menu.
Can I use the chart for mass flow units? No. This chart is for volumetric flow only. For mass flow, use density and temperature compensation.
