Converting from Liter per minute (L/min) to Cubic Meter per Second (m³/s)

What is Liter per minute (L/min)

The liter per minute (L/min) is a unit of flow rate commonly used to measure the volume of liquid passing through a particular point in a system per minute. It is often used in applications like water flow in plumbing systems, fuel flow in engines, or air flow in ventilation systems.

What is Cubic Meter per Second (m³/s)

The cubic meter per second (m³/s) is a unit of flow rate that represents the volume of fluid passing through a specific point in a system per second. It is a larger unit compared to liter per minute and is commonly used in hydrology, fluid dynamics, and other scientific applications.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between liter per minute (L/min) and cubic meter per second (m³/s) can be done using the following formulas:

1. To convert from L/min to m³/s:

flow rate in m³/s=flow rate in L/min×0.00001666667

2. To convert from m³/s to L/min:

flow rate in L/min=flow rate in m³/s×60000

Examples

1. Converting 5 L/min to m³/s:

5 L/min=5×0.00001666667=0.00008333333 m³/s

2. Converting 16 m³/s to L/min:

16 m³/s=16×60000=960000 L/min

Now, you can use these conversion formulas to easily convert between liter per minute and cubic meter per second in different flow rate applications.
