How to Convert Cubic Meter per Second to Liter per Minute
- 1 m³/s = 60000 L/min
- 1 L/min = 0.00001666666667 m³/s
- Example: convert 15 m³/s to L/min: 15 m³/s = 15 × 60000 L/min = 900000 L/min
Formula
L/min = m³/s × 60000
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 m³/s = 1 m³ ÷ 1 s
- 1 L/min = 10⁻³ m³ ÷ 60 s
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Cubic Meter per Second definition: cubic meter per second; Liter per Minute definition: liter per minute.
Worked examples
- A reading of 0.5 m³/s converts to 30000 L/min.
0.5 m³/s × 60000 = 30000 L/min - A value of 10 m³/s is 600000 L/min.
10 m³/s × 60000 = 600000 L/min

Where it's used
Cubic Meters per Second are used for river and channel discharge, while liters per minute appear in medical oxygen and anaesthesia gas flow. Both measure volumetric flow rate (volume per unit time), so the conversion is a fixed factor.

Frequently asked questions
How many liters per minute are in 1 cubic meter per second?
1 m³/s = 60000 L/min.
How do I convert cubic meters per second to liters per minute?
Multiply the value in m³/s by 60000. For example, 15 m³/s × 60000 = 900000 L/min.
Is the m³/s to L/min 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).
