Volumetric Flux

m³/m²/stoL/(min·m²)

Convert cubic metres per square metre per second (m³/m²/s) to litres per minute per square metre (volumetric flux) (L/(min·m²)).

Factor1 m³/m²/s = 60000 L/(min·m²)

Converter

m³/m²/s

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

Result
60000L/(min·m²)

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
L/(min·m²) = m³/m²/s × 60000

Multiply any value in cubic metres per square metre per second by 60000 to obtain the value in litres per minute per square metre (volumetric flux).

Worked example

Convert 1 m³/m²/s to L/(min·m²).

  1. 01Start with 1 m³/m²/s.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 60000 = 60000 L/(min·m²).
Result1 m³/m²/s = 60000 L/(min·m²)

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from m³/m²/s to L/(min·m²)?
1 m³/m²/s equals 60000 L/(min·m²). To convert, multiply the value in cubic metres per square metre per second by 60000.
How do I convert 1 m³/m²/s to L/(min·m²)?
1 m³/m²/s = 60000 L/(min·m²). For any value, multiply by 60000.
How do I convert L/(min·m²) back to m³/m²/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1.666667e-5. So 1 L/(min·m²) = 1.66667e-5 m³/m²/s.
When would I need to convert cubic metre per square metre per second to litre per minute per square metre (volumetric flux)?
Volumetric-flux conversions between m³/m²/s and L/(min·m²) are routine in membrane filtration (RO, UF, MF, NF permeate flux), hydraulic loading specification, water-treatment design, hydrometallurgy and packed-bed column loading, and environmental engineering. LMH (L/m²/h) and gfd (gal/ft²/day) dominate membrane datasheets; m³/m²/h and m³/m²/day cover SI engineering ladders; m/day and cm/s appear as superficial velocity in hydromet and packed-bed work. Volumetric flux is the same physical quantity as superficial velocity (m³/m²/s ≡ m/s) but is kept distinct from the velocity and flow categories because the engineering intent is volumetric throughput per unit area, not bulk motion or total throughput.
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).
