Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
L/s = L/min × 0.01666667

Multiply any value in litres per minute by 0.01666667 to obtain the value in litres per second.

Worked example

Convert 60 L/min to L/s.

  1. 01Start with 60 L/min.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 60 × 0.01666667 = 1 L/s.
Result60 L/min = 1 L/s

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from L/min to L/s?
1 L/min equals 0.01666667 L/s. To convert, multiply the value in litres per minute by 0.01666667.
How do I convert 1 L/min to L/s?
1 L/min = 0.0166667 L/s. For any value, multiply by 0.01666667.
How do I convert L/s back to L/min?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 60. So 1 L/s = 60 L/min.
When would I need to convert litre per minute to litre per second?
Flow-rate conversions show up in pump curve interpretation, control valve sizing (Cv vs Kv), and aligning vendor specifications with process simulation outputs. L/min to L/s is a frequently needed conversion for hydraulic sizing.
Is the conversion exact?
Yes. Both L/min and L/s are defined by exact SI relationships, so the displayed factor is exact (any rounding shown is only for display).
