l-min to l-s | Exact Decimal + Formula

1 Liter / Minute = 0.016667 Liter / Second

One liter / second equals exactly 60 liters / minute — a fixed ratio you can memorize. Real-world use: water pumps, medical iv infusion, and aquarium filtration ratings. This page expresses those values in liters / second, which is used for rivers, water treatment, and industrial pumping systems.

About Liter / Minute and Liter / Second

Liter / Minute (L/min)

Liters per minute measures volumetric flow rate in the metric system.

Where it's used: Water pumps, medical IV infusion, and aquarium filtration ratings.

Liter / Second (L/s)

Liters per second measures larger volumetric flows.

Where it's used: Rivers, water treatment, and industrial pumping systems.

Precision & Practical Use

For example, 10 L/min = 0.166667 L/s — roughly fractional unit measurement.

Results are computed to up to 9 decimal places. Round to the precision of your measuring instrument — for most flow rate applications, 2–3 significant figures are plenty.

Related Specialist Flow Rate Calculators & Niche Tools

Flow rate calculations measure fluid velocity, expressing volume per unit time. Typically calculated in Gallons per Minute (GPM) or Liters per Minute (LPM), these measurements are fundamental in plumbing, irrigation, and hydraulic system design.

Sizing a water pump or designing a sprinkler system requires translating fluid flow rates across metric and imperial systems. Flow calculators allow plumbers and civil engineers to determine if piping and valve sizes can handle specific GPM or LPM rates under pressure, optimizing fluid transport systems for peak output.

How to Convert Liter / Minute to Liter / Second

How many liter / seconds are in one liter / minute?

One Liter / Minute (L/min) equals 0.016667 Liter / Second (L/s). To convert liter / minutes to liter / seconds, multiply the liter / minute value by 0.016667.

How do I convert Liter / Minute to Liter / Second?

Multiply your liter / minute value by 0.016667 to get the result in Liter / Second: L/s = L/min × 0.016667. For example, 5 L/min = 0.083333 L/s.

What is the formula for converting L/min to L/s?

The conversion formula is L/s = L/min × 0.016667. Use the calculator above for any value, and see the reference table below for common inputs from 0.001 to 1000.
