Convert Liters per Second to Liters per Minute
1 liter per second (L/s) equals 60 liters per minute (L/min).
1 L/s = 60 L/min

How to Convert Liter per Second to Liter per Minute
- 1 L/s = 60 L/min
- 1 L/min = 0.01666666667 L/s
- Example: convert 15 L/s to L/min: 15 L/s = 15 × 60 L/min = 900 L/min
Formula
L/min = L/s × 60
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 L/s = 10⁻³ m³ ÷ 1 s
- 1 L/min = 10⁻³ m³ ÷ 60 s
- 1 L/s = 0.001 m³/s ÷ 0.00001666666666667 m³/s per L/min = 60 L/min
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Liter per Second definition: liter per second; Liter per Minute definition: liter per minute.
Worked examples
- A reading of 5 L/s converts to 300 L/min.
5 L/s × 60 = 300 L/min - A value of 50 L/s is 3000 L/min.
50 L/s × 60 = 3000 L/min

Where it's used
Liters per Second are used for ventilation rates per person (ASHRAE 62.1, EN 16798), 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.
Liter per Second to other flow rate units
| Conversion | 1 L/s equals |
|---|---|
| liter per second to cubic meter per second | 0.001 m³/s |
| liter per second to cubic meter per hour | 3.6 m³/h |
| liter per second to liter per minute | 60 L/min |
| liter per second to cubic centimeter per second | 1000 cm³/s |
| liter per second to cubic centimeter per minute | 60000 cm³/min |
| liter per second to sccm | 60000 sccm |
| liter per second to SLPM | 60 SLPM |
| liter per second to cubic foot per minute | 2.118880003 CFM |
| liter per second to US gallon per minute | 15.85032314 GPM |
Frequently asked questions
How many liters per minute are in 1 liter per second?
1 L/s = 60 L/min.
How do I convert liters per second to liters per minute?
Multiply the value in L/s by 60. For example, 15 L/s × 60 = 900 L/min.
Is the L/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).
