Liter per Minute to Liter per Second Converter

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.

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.

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.

Liter per second (L/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in liters passing through a given area per second. It equals 0.001 cubic meters per second, providing a convenient scale for moderate flow measurements.

The L/s unit developed with the widespread adoption of the liter as a practical volume unit. It became particularly useful for water supply systems, plumbing applications, and medium-scale fluid handling where cubic meters would be too large and milliliters too small.

L/s is commonly used in plumbing and water supply systems, irrigation, fire protection systems, and laboratory applications. It's standard for measuring flow rates in residential and commercial water systems, pump specifications, and hydraulic system design.
