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.
Liter per Minute (L/min)
Definition
Liter per minute (L/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in liters passing through a given area per minute. It provides a practical scale for many everyday and industrial flow measurements.
History
The L/min unit became widely adopted in various industries as it provided convenient numerical values for many common applications. It was particularly useful in automotive, medical, and laboratory applications where flow rates were moderate and minute-based measurements were practical.
Current Use
L/min is extensively used in automotive fuel systems, medical equipment (IV drips, oxygen flow), laboratory instruments, and small to medium pumping systems. It's standard for fuel injection rates, medical flow meters, laboratory pumps, and aquarium filtration systems.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Cubic Meter per Minute to Liter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 m³/min = 1,000 L/min
- Conversion Formula: L/min = m³/min × 1,000
- Calculation: 1 m³/min × 1,000 = 1,000 L/min
Convert 10 Cubic Meter per Minute to Liter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 m³/min = 1,000 L/min
- Conversion Formula: L/min = m³/min × 1,000
- Calculation: 10 m³/min × 1,000 = 10,000 L/min
Convert 100 Cubic Meter per Minute to Liter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 m³/min = 1,000 L/min
- Conversion Formula: L/min = m³/min × 1,000
- Calculation: 100 m³/min × 1,000 = 100,000 L/min
Convert 1,000 Cubic Meter per Minute to Liter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 m³/min = 1,000 L/min
- Conversion Formula: L/min = m³/min × 1,000
- Calculation: 1,000 m³/min × 1,000 = 1e+6 L/min
