The Liter per Minute (L/min) in Flow Rate

What is Liter per Minute (L/min)

The liter per minute (L/min) is a unit of measurement used to describe the flow rate of liquids or gases. It indicates how many liters of a substance pass a certain point in one minute. This measurement is essential in various fields like engineering, environmental science, and medicine, as it helps in assessing fluid dynamics and system performance.

In practical terms, L/min is widely used in applications such as water supply systems, fuel flow in engines, and medical devices like infusion pumps. Understanding this unit allows for better monitoring and regulation of flow in these systems.

Common Conversion Values

For better understanding or comparison, the liter per minute can be converted into other units of flow rate. Here are some common conversions:

• 1 (L/min) = 1440 (L/day)
• 1 (L/min) = 60 (L/h)
• 1 (L/min) = 0.01666667 (L/s)
• 1 (L/min) = 380.4078 (gal/day)
• 1 (L/min) = 15.85032 (GPH)
• 1 (L/min) = 0.2641721 (GPM)
• 1 (L/min) = 0.004402868 (GPS)

In terms of volume, the following conversions are also noteworthy:

• 1 (L/min) = 316.7557 (gal/day)
• 1 (L/min) = 13.19815 (GPH)
• 1 (L/min) = 0.2199692 (GPM)
• 1 (L/min) = 0.003666154 (GPS)

When discussing larger volumes, L/min can also be related to cubic kilometers:

• 1 (L/min) = 0.00000000144 (km³/day)
• 1 (L/min) = 0.00000000006 (km³/h)
• 1 (L/min) = 0.000000000001 (km³/min)
• 1 (L/min) = 0.00000000000001666667 (km³/s)

For cubic meters:

• 1 (L/min) = 1.44 (m³/day)
• 1 (L/min) = 0.06 (m³/h)
• 1 (L/min) = 0.001 (m³/min)
• 1 (L/min) = 0.00001666667 (m³/s)

When dealing with cubic centimeters and other units:

• 1 (L/min) = 1440000 (cm³/day)
• 1 (L/min) = 60000 (cm³/h)
• 1 (L/min) = 1000 (cm³/min)
• 1 (L/min) = 16.66667 (cm³/s)

Converting to cubic miles, we have:

• 1 (L/min) = 0.0000000003454744 (mi³/day)
• 1 (L/min) = 0.00000000001439477 (mi³/h)
• 1 (L/min) = 0.0000000000002399128 (mi³/min)
• 1 (L/min) = 0.000000000000003998546 (mi³/s)

Lastly, for cubic feet:

• 1 (L/min) = 50.85312 (ft³/day)

• 1 (L/min) = 2.11888 (ft³/h)

• 1 (L/min) = 0.03531467 (ft³/min)

• 1 (L/min) = 0.0005885778 (ft³/s)

• 1 (L/min) = 87874.19 (in³/day)

• 1 (L/min) = 3661.425 (in³/h)

• 1 (L/min) = 61.02374 (in³/min)

• 1 (L/min) = 1.017062 (in³/s)
