Convert SLPM to Cubic Centimeters per Minute

Formula

cm³/min = SLPM × 1000

Derivation from SI units:

• 1 SLPM = 10⁻³ m³ ÷ 60 s, measured at standard reference conditions
• 1 cm³/min = 10⁻⁶ m³ ÷ 60 s
• 1 SLPM = 0.00001666666666667 m³/s ÷ 1.666666666667 × 10⁻⁸ m³/s per cm³/min = 1000 cm³/min
• Standard ↔ actual: Q_actual = Q_standard × (T_actual / T_ref) × (P_ref / P_actual), absolute T and P.

Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. SLPM definition: SLPM; Cubic Centimeter per Minute definition: cubic centimeter per minute.

Worked examples

1. A reading of 2 SLPM converts to 2000 cm³/min.
   2 SLPM × 1000 = 2000 cm³/min
2. A value of 50 SLPM is 50000 cm³/min.
   50 SLPM × 1000 = 50000 cm³/min

Where it's used

SLPM are used for mass flow meters and controllers, while cubic centimeters per minute appear in chromatography carrier-gas and HPLC flows. Both measure volumetric flow rate (volume per unit time), so the conversion is a fixed factor.
