About Liter per minute (L/min)
A metric flow-rate unit commonly used for household appliances, medical devices (IV pumps, ventilators), dispensing equipment, and small-flow industrial processes. A shower head in a metric country is typically 8–12 L/min; a garden hose is 10–30 L/min. L/min is the default unit for oxygen delivery in medicine (nasal cannula at 1–5 L/min).
About Liter per second (L/s)
A metric flow-rate unit equal to 0.001 m³/s. L/s is the typical unit for plumbing fixtures in metric-using countries, fire-pump capacities, and medium-flow industrial processes. A typical kitchen faucet is 0.1–0.15 L/s; a fire hydrant can deliver 30–60 L/s. Converting L/s to GPM (×15.85) is routine for international pump and plumbing equipment.

Understanding Liters per minute
The Liter per minute (symbol: L/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate. A metric flow-rate unit commonly used for household appliances, medical devices (IV pumps, ventilators), dispensing equipment, and small-flow industrial processes. A shower head in a metric country is typically 8–12 L/min; a garden hose is 10–30 L/min. L/min is the default unit for oxygen delivery in medicine (nasal cannula at 1–5 L/min).
It belongs to the metric measurement system.
Liters per minute are commonly used in plumbing, HVAC systems, and chemical process engineering.
Understanding Liters per second
The Liter per second (symbol: L/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate. A metric flow-rate unit equal to 0.001 m³/s. L/s is the typical unit for plumbing fixtures in metric-using countries, fire-pump capacities, and medium-flow industrial processes. A typical kitchen faucet is 0.1–0.15 L/s; a fire hydrant can deliver 30–60 L/s. Converting L/s to GPM (×15.85) is routine for international pump and plumbing equipment.
It belongs to the metric measurement system.
Liters per second are commonly used in plumbing, HVAC systems, and chemical process engineering.
Why Convert Liters per minute to Liters per second?
Converting between Liters per minute and Liters per second is a frequent requirement for engineers, scientists, and students working with volumetric flow rate values. Different industries and regions favour different unit systems, so having a dependable conversion tool saves time and prevents errors in technical calculations. Whether you are verifying a specification sheet, cross-checking simulation results, or preparing a report for an international audience, accurate volumetric flow rate conversion is essential.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert Liters per minute to Liters per second?
A metric flow-rate unit commonly used for household appliances, medical devices (IV pumps, ventilators), dispensing equipment, and small-flow industrial processes. To convert Liters per minute to Liters per second, multiply by 0.0166667. For example, 25 L/min equals 0.416667 L/s.
How many Liters per second are in 1 Liter per minute?
There are 0.0166667 Liters per second in 1 Liter per minute.
How many Liters per minute are in 1 Liter per second?
There are 60 Liters per minute in 1 Liter per second.
What is the formula for Liter per minute to Liter per second conversion?
The formula is: multiply by 0.0166667. This means 1 L/min = 0.0166667 L/s.
Is a Liter per minute bigger than a Liter per second?
Yes. One Liter per minute is larger than one Liter per second because 1 L/min equals 0.0166667 L/s, which is less than 1.
When do you need to convert between Liters per minute and Liters per second?
A metric flow-rate unit equal to 0. Liter per minute and Liter per second are both volumetric flow units, so conversion comes up whenever one source of information uses one unit and another uses the other — a classic cross-reference challenge in engineering, trade, travel, and everyday life.
