Unit Description
Cubic Meter per Minute (m³/min)
Definition
Cubic meter per minute (m³/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid passing through a given area in one minute. It equals approximately 16.67 liters per second, providing a convenient scale for medium-scale flow measurements.
History
The m³/min unit developed as a practical alternative to m³/s for applications where flow rates were moderate and minute-based measurements were more convenient. It became common in HVAC systems, industrial processes, and water treatment applications.
Current Use
M³/min is commonly used in HVAC systems for air flow measurements, water treatment plants, industrial process control, and medium-scale pumping systems. It's standard for ventilation system specifications, cooling tower flow rates, and industrial fluid handling equipment.
Cubic Meter per Hour (m³/h)
Definition
Cubic meter per hour (m³/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid passing through a given area in one hour. It provides a convenient scale for continuous process measurements and system capacity ratings.
History
The m³/h unit became important with the development of continuous industrial processes and utility systems where hourly flow measurements were more practical than per-second or per-minute rates. It was particularly useful for water supply, gas distribution, and chemical processing.
Current Use
M³/h is extensively used in water supply systems, gas distribution networks, chemical processing, and building services. It's standard for water meter readings, gas flow measurements, pump capacity ratings, and continuous process flow monitoring in industrial applications.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Cubic Meter per Minute to Cubic Meter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 m³/min = 60 m³/h
- Conversion Formula: m³/h = m³/min × 60
- Calculation: 1 m³/min × 60 = 60 m³/h
Convert 10 Cubic Meter per Minute to Cubic Meter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 m³/min = 60 m³/h
- Conversion Formula: m³/h = m³/min × 60
- Calculation: 10 m³/min × 60 = 600 m³/h
Convert 100 Cubic Meter per Minute to Cubic Meter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 m³/min = 60 m³/h
- Conversion Formula: m³/h = m³/min × 60
- Calculation: 100 m³/min × 60 = 6,000 m³/h
Convert 1,000 Cubic Meter per Minute to Cubic Meter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 m³/min = 60 m³/h
- Conversion Formula: m³/h = m³/min × 60
- Calculation: 1,000 m³/min × 60 = 60,000 m³/h
