L/hrtom³/min

Convert litres per hour (L/hr) to cubic metres per minute (m³/min).

Factor1 L/hr = 1.666667e-5 m³/min

Converter

L/hr

Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7

Result
1m³/min

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
m³/min = L/hr × 1.666667e-5

Multiply any value in litres per hour by 1.666667e-5 to obtain the value in cubic metres per minute.

Worked example

Convert 60000 L/hr to m³/min.

  1. 01Start with 60000 L/hr.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 60000 × 1.666667e-5 = 1 m³/min.
Result60000 L/hr = 1 m³/min

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from L/hr to m³/min?
1 L/hr equals 1.666667e-5 m³/min. To convert, multiply the value in litres per hour by 1.666667e-5.
How do I convert 1 L/hr to m³/min?
1 L/hr = 1.66667e-5 m³/min. For any value, multiply by 1.666667e-5.
How do I convert m³/min back to L/hr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 60000. So 1 m³/min = 60000 L/hr.
When would I need to convert litre per hour to cubic metre per minute?
Flow-rate conversions show up in pump curve interpretation, control valve sizing (Cv vs Kv), and aligning vendor specifications with process simulation outputs. L/hr to m³/min is a frequently needed conversion for flow datasheet preparation.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
