Volumetric Flow Rate

L/mintom³/min

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

Factor1 L/min = 0.001 m³/min

Converter

L/min

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

Result
1m³/min

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
m³/min = L/min × 0.001

Multiply any value in litres per minute by 0.001 to obtain the value in cubic metres per minute.

Worked example

Convert 1000 L/min to m³/min.

  1. 01Start with 1000 L/min.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.001 = 1 m³/min.
Result1000 L/min = 1 m³/min

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from L/min to m³/min?
1 L/min equals 0.001 m³/min. To convert, multiply the value in litres per minute by 0.001.
How do I convert 1 L/min to m³/min?
1 L/min = 0.001 m³/min. For any value, multiply by 0.001.
How do I convert m³/min back to L/min?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1000. So 1 m³/min = 1000 L/min.
When would I need to convert litre per minute 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/min 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).
