How to Convert Liters per second to Liters per minute
Formula
To convert Liters per second (L/s) to Liters per minute (L/min): multiply by 60
Step-by-Step
- Start with your value in Liters per second (L/s).
- Multiply by 60 to perform the conversion.
- The result is your value expressed in Liters per minute (L/min).
Conversion Factor
1 L/s = 60 L/min
Reverse Factor
1 L/min = 0.0166667 L/s
Worked Example
Convert 25 Liters per second to Liters per minute: 25 L/s = 1500 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.
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).

Why Convert Liters per second to Liters per minute?
Converting between Liters per second and Liters per minute 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 second to Liters per minute?
A metric flow-rate unit equal to 0. To convert Liters per second to Liters per minute, multiply by 60. For example, 25 L/s equals 1500 L/min.
How many Liters per minute are in 1 Liter per second?
There are 60 Liters per minute in 1 Liter per second.
How many Liters per second are in 1 Liter per minute?
There are 0.0166667 Liters per second in 1 Liter per minute.
What is the formula for Liter per second to Liter per minute conversion?
The formula is: multiply by 60. This means 1 L/s = 60 L/min.
Is a Liter per second bigger than a Liter per minute?
No. One Liter per second is smaller than one Liter per minute because 1 L/s equals 60 L/min, which is greater than 1.
When do you need to convert between Liters per second and Liters per minute?
A metric flow-rate unit commonly used for household appliances, medical devices (IV pumps, ventilators), dispensing equipment, and small-flow industrial processes. Liter per second and Liter per minute 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.
