l-min to m3-s | Exact Decimal + Formula

1 Liter / Minute = 0.000017 Cubic Meter / Second

One cubic meter / second equals exactly 60,000 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 cubic meters / second, which is used for river discharge, dam turbine capacity, and HVAC air volumes. Type a value above for an instant answer; the exact formula and the reference table are below.

About Liter / Minute and Cubic Meter / 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.

Cubic Meter / Second (m³/s)

Cubic meters per second is the SI unit of volumetric flow.

Where it's used: River discharge, dam turbine capacity, and HVAC air volumes.

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 Cubic Meter / Second

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

One Liter / Minute (L/min) equals 0.000017 Cubic Meter / Second (m³/s). To convert liter / minutes to cubic meter / seconds, multiply the liter / minute value by 0.000017.

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

Multiply your liter / minute value by 0.000017 to get the result in Cubic Meter / Second: m³/s = L/min × 0.000017. For example, 5 L/min = 0.000083 m³/s.

What is the formula for converting L/min to m³/s?

The conversion formula is m³/s = L/min × 0.000017. Use the calculator above for any value, and see the reference table below for common inputs from 0.001 to 1000.
