Convert Liters per Square Decimeter per Minute to mm/s
1 liter per square decimeter per minute (L/(dm²·min)) equals 1.666666667 millimeters per second (mm/s).
1 L/(dm²·min) = 1.666666667 mm/s

How to Convert Liter per Square Decimeter per Minute to Millimeter per Second
- 1 L/(dm²·min) = 1.666666667 mm/s
- 1 mm/s = 0.6 L/(dm²·min)
- Example: convert 15 L/(dm²·min) to mm/s: 15 L/(dm²·min) = 15 × 1.666666667 mm/s = 25 mm/s
Formula
mm/s = L/(dm²·min) × 1.666666666667
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 L/(dm²·min) = 10⁻³ m³ ÷ (10⁻² m² × 60 s) = 1/600 m/s ≈ 1.667 mm/s
- 1 mm/s = 0.001 m ÷ 1 s = 1 L/(m²·s)
- 1 L/(dm²·min) = 0.001666666666667 m/s ÷ 0.001 m/s per mm/s = 1.666666666667 mm/s
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Liter per Square Decimeter per Minute definition: liter per square decimeter per minute; Millimeter per Second definition: millimeter per second.
Worked examples
- A reading of 20 L/(dm²·min) converts to 33.33333333 mm/s.
20 L/(dm²·min) × 1.666666667 = 33.33333333 mm/s - A value of 200 L/(dm²·min) is 333.3333333 mm/s.
200 L/(dm²·min) × 1.666666667 = 333.3333333 mm/s

Where it's used
Liters per Square Decimeter per Minute are used for older European fabric permeability reports (e.g. DIN-based), while millimeters per second appear in air permeability of fabrics, nonwovens and papers (ISO 9237, EN ISO 9237). Both measure face velocity and air permeability (volumetric flow per unit area), so the conversion is a fixed factor.

Frequently asked questions
How many millimeters per second are in 1 liter per square decimeter per minute?
1 L/(dm²·min) = 1.666666667 mm/s.
How do I convert liters per square decimeter per minute to millimeters per second?
Multiply the value in L/(dm²·min) by 1.666666667. For example, 15 L/(dm²·min) × 1.666666667 = 25 mm/s.
Is the L/(dm²·min) to mm/s conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly, so the ratio is exact; its decimal form does not terminate and is shown here to 10 significant figures (more with the precision selector).
