PSI to GPM Calculator

Construction
0.0(0)

Calculates the approximate flow rate of water in Gallons Per Minute (GPM) based on the Pressure (PSI) reading from a pressure gauge. This calculation assumes a standard water pipe size and doesn't account for friction loss or other factors.

How To Use

How to use this calculator

Start with your values, or try a preset.

Step 1

Enter Water Pressure (PSI) and Pipe Diameter (Inches) in the units shown.

Step 2

Read Estimated Flow Rate (GPM) in the results panel. Results update as you change the inputs.

Step 3

Choose a preset to load an example, then adjust the values for your situation.
