Unit Description
Liter per Hour (L/h)
Definition
Liter per hour (L/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in liters passing through a given area per hour. It's commonly used for slow, continuous processes and precision flow measurements.
History
The L/h unit became important in applications requiring precise, slow flow measurements such as medical infusions, chemical dosing, and precision manufacturing processes. It provided appropriate numerical values for applications where faster flow units would result in small decimal numbers.
Current Use
L/h is used in medical infusion systems, chemical dosing equipment, precision manufacturing, and slow continuous processes. It's standard for IV pump settings, chemical feed systems, precision dispensing equipment, and laboratory analytical instruments.
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 Factor: 1 L/h = 0.0166667 L/min
- Conversion Formula: L/min = L/h ÷ 60
- Calculation: 1 L/h ÷ 60 = 0.0166667 L/min
Convert 10 Liter per Hour to Liter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 L/h = 0.0166667 L/min
- Conversion Formula: L/min = L/h ÷ 60
- Calculation: 10 L/h ÷ 60 = 0.166667 L/min
Convert 100 Liter per Hour to Liter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 L/h = 0.0166667 L/min
- Conversion Formula: L/min = L/h ÷ 60
- Calculation: 100 L/h ÷ 60 = 1.66667 L/min
Convert 1,000 Liter per Hour to Liter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 L/h = 0.0166667 L/min
- Conversion Formula: L/min = L/h ÷ 60
- Calculation: 1,000 L/h ÷ 60 = 16.6667 L/min
