Unit Definitions & Metrology Context
The standard SI unit of volumetric flow rate is cubic meters per second (m³/s), representing the volume of fluid that passes through a given cross-sectional area per second.
About Liters per Minute (L/min): Liter per Minute (L/min) is a unit in the Volumetric Flow Rate measurement category. It is widely used in medical oxygen & tap water flow. Relative to the volumetric flow rate base unit, 1 L/min equals 0.000017 Cubic Meters per Second (m³/s).
About Liters per Second (L/s): Liter per Second (L/s) is a unit in the Volumetric Flow Rate measurement category. It is widely used in plumbing & hydraulic flows. Relative to the volumetric flow rate base unit, 1 L/s equals 0.001 Cubic Meters per Second (m³/s).

Frequently Asked Questions
Verified answers and formulas for converting liters per minute to liters per second.
There are 0.016667 liters per second (L/s) in 1 liter per minute (L/min). Conversely, 1 liter per second equals 60 liters per minute.
To convert liters per minute (L/min) to liters per second (L/s), use the formula: L/s = L/min / 60. Divide the liter per minute value by 60. For example, 10 L/min equals 0.1667 L/s.
To convert in the reverse direction from liters per second (L/s) to liters per minute (L/min), use the inverse formula: L/min = L/s × 60. Multiply the liter per second value by 60 (1 L/s = 60 L/min).
Both liter per minute and liter per second measure volumetric flow rate. Liter per Minute (L/min) is a unit in the Volumetric Flow Rate measurement category. It is widely used in medical oxygen & tap water flow. Relative to the volumetric flow rate base unit, 1 L/min equals 0.000017 Cubic Meters per Second (m³/s). Liter per Second (L/s) is a unit in the Volumetric Flow Rate measurement category. It is widely used in plumbing & hydraulic flows. Relative to the volumetric flow rate base unit, 1 L/s equals 0.001 Cubic Meters per Second (m³/s).
Multiply the CFM value by 0.471947. For example, a 100 CFM ventilation fan moves approximately 47.19 L/s of air.
