How to Convert m³/h to Liters per Minute
To convert m³/h to liters per minute, multiply the flow rate by the following conversion ratio: 16.6666667 liters per minute/cubic meters per hour.
Since one cubic meters per hour is equal to 16.6666667 liters per minute, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The flow rate in liters per minute is equal to the flow rate in m³/h multiplied by 16.6666667.
For example, here's how to convert 5 m³/h to liters per minute using the formula above.
How Many Liters per Minute Are in a Cubic Meters per Hour?
There are 16.6666667 liters per minute in a cubic meters per hour, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our cubic meters per hour to liters per minute calculator automatically converts your flow rate measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
m³/h and liters per minute are both units used to measure flow rate. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Cubic Meters per Hour?
A cubic meters per hour is a unit of flow rate equal to 16.6666667 liters per minute (L/min), the base unit for flow rate. Equal to 16.6667 L/min. [1]
The cubic meters per hour is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of flow rate. m³/h can be abbreviated as m³/h; for example, 1 cubic meters per hour can be written as 1 m³/h.
When working with m³/h (m³/h) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, m³/h (m³/h) are widely used across standard flow rate applications within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is a Liters per Minute?
Volumetric flow of 1 liter per minute. It serves as a primary reference unit for measuring flow rate across scientific and practical applications. [2]
The liters per minute is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of flow rate. Liters per Minute can be abbreviated as L/min; for example, 1 liters per minute can be written as 1 L/min.
As the primary coherent reference unit for flow rate in this category, all other flow rate units are mathematically anchored to the liters per minute (L/min).
In practice, liters per minute (L/min) are widely used across standard flow rate applications within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting flow rate between m³/h (m³/h) and liters per minute (L/min), keep full floating-point precision (1 m³/h = 16.6666667 L/min; 1 L/min = 0.06 m³/h) during intermediate calculations and round only the final liters per minute figure to match your instrument tolerance.
