Unit Description
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.
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 Liter per Minute to Cubic Meter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 L/min = 0.06 m³/h
- Conversion Formula: m³/h = L/min ÷ 16.6667
- Calculation: 1 L/min ÷ 16.6667 = 0.06 m³/h
Convert 10 Liter per Minute to Cubic Meter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 L/min = 0.06 m³/h
- Conversion Formula: m³/h = L/min ÷ 16.6667
- Calculation: 10 L/min ÷ 16.6667 = 0.6 m³/h
Convert 100 Liter per Minute to Cubic Meter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 L/min = 0.06 m³/h
- Conversion Formula: m³/h = L/min ÷ 16.6667
- Calculation: 100 L/min ÷ 16.6667 = 6 m³/h
Convert 1,000 Liter per Minute to Cubic Meter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 L/min = 0.06 m³/h
- Conversion Formula: m³/h = L/min ÷ 16.6667
- Calculation: 1,000 L/min ÷ 16.6667 = 60 m³/h
