Volumetric Flow Rate

L/mintom³/hr

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

Factor1 L/min = 0.06 m³/hr

Converter

L/min

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

Result
6m³/hr

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
m³/hr = L/min × 0.06

Multiply any value in litres per minute by 0.06 to obtain the value in cubic metres per hour.

Worked example

Convert 100 L/min to m³/hr.

  1. 01Start with 100 L/min.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 0.06 = 6 m³/hr.
Result100 L/min = 6 m³/hr

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from L/min to m³/hr?
1 L/min equals 0.06 m³/hr. To convert, multiply the value in litres per minute by 0.06.
How do I convert 1 L/min to m³/hr?
1 L/min = 0.06 m³/hr. For any value, multiply by 0.06.
How do I convert m³/hr back to L/min?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 16.66667. So 1 m³/hr = 16.6667 L/min.
When would I need to convert litre per minute to cubic metre per hour?
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 m³/hr is a frequently needed conversion for flow datasheet preparation.
Is the conversion exact?
Yes. Both L/min and m³/hr are defined by exact SI relationships, so the displayed factor is exact (any rounding shown is only for display).
