Unit Description
Liter per Second (L/s)
Definition
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.
History
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.
Current Use
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.
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.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Liter per Second to Cubic Meter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 L/s = 0.06 m³/min
- Conversion Formula: m³/min = L/s ÷ 16.6667
- Calculation: 1 L/s ÷ 16.6667 = 0.06 m³/min
Convert 10 Liter per Second to Cubic Meter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 L/s = 0.06 m³/min
- Conversion Formula: m³/min = L/s ÷ 16.6667
- Calculation: 10 L/s ÷ 16.6667 = 0.6 m³/min
Convert 100 Liter per Second to Cubic Meter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 L/s = 0.06 m³/min
- Conversion Formula: m³/min = L/s ÷ 16.6667
- Calculation: 100 L/s ÷ 16.6667 = 6 m³/min
Convert 1,000 Liter per Second to Cubic Meter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 L/s = 0.06 m³/min
- Conversion Formula: m³/min = L/s ÷ 16.6667
- Calculation: 1,000 L/s ÷ 16.6667 = 60 m³/min
