Liters per Minute to Liters per Second

Snapshot

1 Liter per Minute equals 0.016667 Liters per Second. Conversion Encyclopedia uses the same fixed conversion basis across the calculator, common values, and reverse page for this page.

Reference basis: This conversion uses a fixed factor based on time-normalized rate definitions.
Example: For 0.1 Liters per Minute, the result equals 0.001666667 Liters per Second.
Use the reverse page if you need the opposite direction with the same basis.

Explanation

Formula: Liters per Second = Liters per Minute × 0.016667. Why: both units are normalized through liters per second, so the conversion combines fixed volume definitions with exact per-second, per-minute, or per-hour scaling.

Liters per Minute (L/min): a practical volumetric flow unit commonly used for pumps, plumbing, dosing, and process equipment.

Liters per Second (L/s): an SI-style volumetric flow unit used to express how many liters move each second.

This route is useful when restating the same liter-based flow across per-second, per-minute, and per-hour reporting intervals in process and dosing work.

This conversion is purely multiplicative because both units reduce through one liters-per-second flow basis with fixed unit-volume definitions and no offset.

Method & Reference

Method basis: exact conversion formula shown in Snapshot.
Applied factor: 1 Liter per Minute = 0.016667 Liters per Second.
Consistency rule: calculator output and table values use the same constants and rounding policy.

Questions & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 1 liter per minute in liters per second?

1 Liter per Minute equals 0.016667 Liters per Second on this page.

How do liters per second, per minute, and per hour relate on this page?

The volume basis stays in liters while only the time interval changes. This page therefore uses exact second-to-minute and second-to-hour scaling without changing the underlying volume definition.

When would I convert liters per minute to liters per second?
