Online Water Calculator to
Convert GPM (Gallons Per Minute) into AFA, MI or
CFA
The free calculator on this page will convert gallons per minute
(GPM) into the following volume/flow quantities:
- CFS - cubic feet per second
- CFM - cubic feet per minute
- AFA - acre feet per annum
- MI - miners inches (see the discussion on different MI standards)
The calculator is easy to use and should save you some time.

Calculator
1 gpm = 0.1114 MI
(where 50 MI=1 CFS)
1 gpm = 0.0891 MI (where 40 MI=1
CFS)*
1 gpm = 0.0855 MI (where 38.4
MI=1 CFS)*
1 gpm = 0.1337 CFM
1 gpm = 0.002228 CFS
1 gpm = 1.612 AFA

DISCLAIMER: Use at your own
risk, and doublecheck the math with your own calculator. You should
also check with your hydrologist or water lawyer to make sure that
the formulas are correct for your state. The calculator will work
with Internet Explorer, Firefox and Netscape 6.0 (and
higher). Results are rounded off.
How to use the calculator.
(1) Enter the number of gallons per minute you wish to convert in
the top of the form. DO NOT USE COMMAS. (2) Select MI, CFM, CFS or
AFA. (3) Click "Calculate. The converted expression will appear in
the last box (conversion). If you selected CFS, the converted
figure is an expression in CFS. To recalculate with a different
expression (for example, AFA instead of CFS), be sure to select
AFA, and click the calculate button again so that the math will
reset. If you don't understand this, experiment using 1 gpm. The
results will match the formula above.
