FAQ

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