Understanding Flow Rate Units and Conversions

Introduction

This guide explains the different flow rate units and how to convert between them.

Common Flow Rate Units

  • Liters per second (L/s):
    A metric unit of flow rate, representing the volume of fluid passing a point per second.

  • Cubic meters per second (m³/s):
    A metric unit of flow rate, representing the volume of fluid passing a point per second.

  • Cubic meters per hour (m³/h):
    A metric unit of flow rate, representing the volume of fluid passing a point per hour.

  • Gallons per minute (gal/min):
    An imperial unit of flow rate, commonly used in the United States.

  • Cubic feet per minute (ft³/min):
    An imperial unit of flow rate, commonly used in the United States.

  • Cubic feet per second (ft³/s):
    An imperial unit of flow rate, commonly used in the United States.

  • Milliliters per minute (mL/min):
    A metric unit of flow rate, representing the volume of fluid passing a point per minute.

  • Liters per minute (L/min):
    A metric unit of flow rate, representing the volume of fluid passing a point per minute.

  • Liters per hour (L/h):
    A metric unit of flow rate, representing the volume of fluid passing a point per hour.

Flow Rate Conversions

  • 1 L/s = 0.001 m³/s
  • 1 L/s = 3.6 m³/h
  • 1 L/s = 15.8503 gal/min
  • 1 L/s = 2.11888 ft³/min
  • 1 L/s = 0.0353147 ft³/s
  • 1 L/s = 60000 mL/min
  • 1 L/s = 60 L/min
  • 1 L/s = 3600 L/h
