What is cubic meter per minute used for?

It measures the volume of fluid flowing per minute and is commonly applied in engineering for airflow, water flow, and various fluid transfer processes.

Why convert cubic meter per minute to liter per hour?

Converting to liter per hour allows monitoring and specifying flow rates on an hourly scale, especially for lower to moderate liquid flows in applications like fuel consumption and dosing pumps.

Can this conversion be used for mass flow rates?

No, because mass flow requires density data; this tool handles volumetric flow units only.

Key Terminology

Cubic meter per minute (m³/min): A volumetric flow rate unit measuring the volume of fluid passing a point per minute, used in engineering for airflow, water flow, and other fluid applications.
Liter per hour (L/h): A volumetric flow rate unit indicating the volume of liquid passing a point each hour, used for low to moderate flow rates such as fuel consumption and chemical dosing.
Volumetric flow rate: The quantity of fluid that passes through a given surface per unit time, measured in units such as m³/min or L/h.
