Unit Description
Cubic Meter per Second (m³/s)
Definition
Cubic meter per second (m³/s) is the SI unit of volumetric flow rate, representing the volume of fluid passing through a given cross-sectional area per unit time. One cubic meter per second equals 1,000 liters per second.
History
The m³/s unit was established with the International System of Units (SI) as the standard scientific unit for volumetric flow rate. It became essential for hydraulic engineering, fluid mechanics, and large-scale flow measurements in rivers, pipelines, and industrial systems.
Current Use
M³/s is used in hydraulic engineering, river flow measurements, large pipeline systems, and scientific research. It's standard for measuring discharge rates of rivers, flow capacity of large pumps, and in fluid mechanics calculations for major water treatment and distribution systems.
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 Second to Liter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 m³/s = 60,000 L/min
- Conversion Formula: L/min = m³/s × 60,000
- Calculation: 1 m³/s × 60,000 = 60,000 L/min
Convert 10 Cubic Meter per Second to Liter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 m³/s = 60,000 L/min
- Conversion Formula: L/min = m³/s × 60,000
- Calculation: 10 m³/s × 60,000 = 600,000 L/min
Convert 100 Cubic Meter per Second to Liter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 m³/s = 60,000 L/min
- Conversion Formula: L/min = m³/s × 60,000
- Calculation: 100 m³/s × 60,000 = 6e+6 L/min
Convert 1,000 Cubic Meter per Second to Liter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 m³/s = 60,000 L/min
- Conversion Formula: L/min = m³/s × 60,000
- Calculation: 1,000 m³/s × 60,000 = 6e+7 L/min
