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 Cubic Meters per Second (m³/s): Cubic Meter per Second (m³/s) is a unit in the Volumetric Flow Rate measurement category. It is widely used in si base unit (hydroelectric & river discharge). The cubic meter per second (m³/s) serves as the primary reference base unit for the volumetric flow rate domain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Verified answers and formulas for converting liters per minute to cubic meters per second.

How many cubic meters per second are in 1 liter per minute?

There are 0.000017 cubic meters per second (m³/s) in 1 liter per minute (L/min). Conversely, 1 cubic meter per second equals 60000 liters per minute.

How do you convert liters per minute to cubic meters per second?

To convert liters per minute (L/min) to cubic meters per second (m³/s), use the formula: m³/s = L/min / 60000. Divide the liter per minute value by 60000. For example, 10 L/min equals 0.0002 m³/s.

How do I convert back from cubic meters per second to liters per minute?

To convert in the reverse direction from cubic meters per second (m³/s) to liters per minute (L/min), use the inverse formula: L/min = m³/s × 60000. Multiply the cubic meter per second value by 60000 (1 m³/s = 60000 L/min).

What is the difference between liter per minute (L/min) and cubic meter per second (m³/s)?

Both liter per minute and cubic meter 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). Cubic Meter per Second (m³/s) is a unit in the Volumetric Flow Rate measurement category. It is widely used in si base unit (hydroelectric & river discharge). The cubic meter per second (m³/s) serves as the primary reference base unit for the volumetric flow rate domain.

How do you convert CFM to liters per second (L/s)?

Multiply the CFM value by 0.471947. For example, a 100 CFM ventilation fan moves approximately 47.19 L/s of air.
