How to Convert Cubic Meter per Hour to Liter per Minute
- 1 m³/h = 16.66666667 L/min
- 1 L/min = 0.06 m³/h
- Example: convert 15 m³/h to L/min: 15 m³/h = 15 × 16.66666667 L/min = 250 L/min
Formula
L/min = m³/h × 16.66666666667
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 m³/h = 1 m³ ÷ 3600 s
- 1 L/min = 10⁻³ m³ ÷ 60 s
- 1 m³/h = 0.0002777777777778 m³/s ÷ 0.00001666666666667 m³/s per L/min = 16.66666666667 L/min
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Cubic Meter per Hour definition: cubic meter per hour; Liter per Minute definition: liter per minute.
Worked examples
- A 3 m³/h pump delivers 50 L/min.
3 m³/h × 16.66666667 = 50 L/min - An airflow of 1.7 m³/h is 28.33333333 L/min.
1.7 m³/h × 16.66666667 = 28.33333333 L/min
