Formula

Formula
m³/s = L/min × 1.666667e-5

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

Worked example

Convert 60 L/min to m³/s.

  1. 01Start with 60 L/min.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 60 × 1.666667e-5 = 0.001 m³/s.
Result60 L/min = 0.001 m³/s

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from L/min to m³/s?
1 L/min equals 1.666667e-5 m³/s. To convert, multiply the value in litres per minute by 1.666667e-5.
How do I convert 1 L/min to m³/s?
1 L/min = 1.66667e-5 m³/s. For any value, multiply by 1.666667e-5.
How do I convert m³/s back to L/min?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 60000. So 1 m³/s = 60000 L/min.
When would I need to convert litre per minute to cubic metre 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 m³/s 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).
