How to Convert Cubic Centimeter per Minute to Liter per Second
- 1 cm³/min = 0.00001666666667 L/s
- 1 L/s = 60000 cm³/min
- Example: convert 15 cm³/min to L/s: 15 cm³/min = 15 × 0.00001666666667 L/s = 0.00025 L/s
Formula
L/s = cm³/min × 0.00001666666666667
or L/s = cm³/min ÷ 60000
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 cm³/min = 10⁻⁶ m³ ÷ 60 s
- 1 L/s = 10⁻³ m³ ÷ 1 s
- 1 cm³/min = 1.666666666667 × 10⁻⁸ m³/s ÷ 0.001 m³/s per L/s = 0.00001666666666667 L/s
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Cubic Centimeter per Minute definition: cubic centimeter per minute; Liter per Second definition: liter per second.
Worked examples
- A reading of 5 cm³/min converts to 0.00008333333333 L/s.
5 cm³/min × 0.00001666666667 = 0.00008333333333 L/s - A value of 200 cm³/min is 0.003333333333 L/s.
200 cm³/min × 0.00001666666667 = 0.003333333333 L/s

Where it's used
Cubic Centimeters per Minute are used for chromatography carrier-gas and HPLC flows, while liters per second appear in ventilation rates per person (ASHRAE 62.1, EN 16798). Both measure volumetric flow rate (volume per unit time), so the conversion is a fixed factor.

Frequently asked questions
How many liters per second are in 1 cubic centimeter per minute?
1 cm³/min = 0.00001666666667 L/s.
How do I convert cubic centimeters per minute to liters per second?
Multiply the value in cm³/min by 0.00001666666667, or divide it by 60000. For example, 15 cm³/min × 0.00001666666667 = 0.00025 L/s.
Is the cm³/min to L/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).
