How to Convert Litre per minute to Litre per secondLitre per second
1 l/min = 0.016666666666666666 l/s
1 l/s = 60 l/min
Example: convert 99 l/min to l/s:
99 l/min = 99 x 0.016666666666666666 = 1.65 l/s
Litre per minute
Definition: Liters per minute (L/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate. It represents the volume of a substance passing through a given point per unit of time, measured in liters per minute.
History/origin: The liter (L) is a metric unit of volume. Using 'per minute' provides a convenient timescale for many practical applications.
Current use: L/min is a very common unit for measuring fluid flow rates in diverse applications, including medical equipment (e.g., oxygen concentrators), automotive systems, and home appliances (e.g., water softeners).
Litre per second
Definition: Liters per second (L/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate. It represents the volume of a substance passing through a given point per unit of time, measured in liters per second.
History/origin: The liter (L) is a metric unit of volume. Its use dates back to the French Revolution. The 'per second' component makes it a measure of flow rate.
Current use: L/s is a frequently used unit for measuring fluid flow rates in various applications, including water supply systems, industrial processes, and environmental monitoring.
