Unit Description
Milliliter per Minute (mL/min)
Definition
Milliliter per minute (mL/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in milliliters passing through a given area per minute. It's used for precise, small-scale flow measurements.
History
The mL/min unit became essential with the development of precision medical equipment, analytical instruments, and microfluidics. It provided appropriate scaling for applications involving small volumes and precise flow control, particularly in medical and laboratory settings.
Current Use
mL/min is extensively used in medical devices (syringe pumps, dialysis machines), analytical chemistry, microfluidics, and precision dosing systems. It's standard for medical infusion pumps, chromatography systems, and laboratory analytical equipment requiring precise flow control.
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.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Milliliter per Minute to Liter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 mL/min = 0.06 L/h
- Conversion Formula: L/h = mL/min ÷ 16.6667
- Calculation: 1 mL/min ÷ 16.6667 = 0.06 L/h
Convert 10 Milliliter per Minute to Liter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 mL/min = 0.06 L/h
- Conversion Formula: L/h = mL/min ÷ 16.6667
- Calculation: 10 mL/min ÷ 16.6667 = 0.6 L/h
Convert 100 Milliliter per Minute to Liter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 mL/min = 0.06 L/h
- Conversion Formula: L/h = mL/min ÷ 16.6667
- Calculation: 100 mL/min ÷ 16.6667 = 6 L/h
Convert 1,000 Milliliter per Minute to Liter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 mL/min = 0.06 L/h
- Conversion Formula: L/h = mL/min ÷ 16.6667
- Calculation: 1,000 mL/min ÷ 16.6667 = 60 L/h
