Litre per minute [l/min] to Decilitre per second [dl/s] Converter

Quick Reference

1 Litre per minute (l/min) = 0.1666666667 Decilitre per second (dl/s)

1 Decilitre per second (dl/s) = 6 Litre per minute (l/min)

How to Convert Litre per minute to Decilitre per second

1 l/min = 0.1666666667 dl/s
1 dl/s = 6 l/min

To convert Litre per minute to Decilitre per second, divide the value by 6 (equivalently, multiply by 0.1666666667). To convert Decilitre per second back to Litre per minute, multiply by 6.

Example: convert 10 l/min to dl/s:
10 l/min = 10 x 0.1666666667 = 1.666666667 dl/s

↔ Convert Decilitre per second to Litre per minute

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).

Decilitre per second

Definition: Deciliters per second (dL/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 deciliters per second.

History/origin: The deciliter (dL) is a derived unit of volume equal to one tenth of a liter (1 dL = 0.1 L). The 'per second' component signifies a flow rate.

Current use: dL/s is not as common as L/s or mL/s. It might be used in some specific industrial applications or in academic settings for experiments involving medium-sized fluid volumes per second.
