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 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 Examples
Convert 1 Milliliter per Minute to Liter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 mL/min = 0.001 L/min
- Conversion Formula: L/min = mL/min ÷ 1,000
- Calculation: 1 mL/min ÷ 1,000 = 0.001 L/min
Convert 10 Milliliter per Minute to Liter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 mL/min = 0.001 L/min
- Conversion Formula: L/min = mL/min ÷ 1,000
- Calculation: 10 mL/min ÷ 1,000 = 0.01 L/min
Convert 100 Milliliter per Minute to Liter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 mL/min = 0.001 L/min
- Conversion Formula: L/min = mL/min ÷ 1,000
- Calculation: 100 mL/min ÷ 1,000 = 0.1 L/min
Convert 1,000 Milliliter per Minute to Liter per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 mL/min = 0.001 L/min
- Conversion Formula: L/min = mL/min ÷ 1,000
- Calculation: 1,000 mL/min ÷ 1,000 = 1 L/min
