-
Accuracy is restricted by input measurement precision and rounding
-
Not designed for flows outside the range of typical low-to-moderate volumes
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does liter per day [L/d] measure?
-
Liter per day measures the volume of fluid moved or delivered each day and is used for quantifying daily volumetric flow rates in various fields such as medical and environmental contexts.
-
How does liter per minute [L/min] differ from liter per day?
-
Liter per minute quantifies the volume of fluid passing a point every minute, typically applied for moderate flow rates in medical and engineering settings, offering a finer timescale than liter per day.
-
Why convert from liter/day to liter/minute?
-
Converting from liter/day to liter/minute helps to monitor and control processes in real time, especially in medical treatments and industrial applications where minute-based measurements are required.
Key Terminology
-
Liter per day [L/d]
-
A unit expressing fluid volume flow rate as liters moved or delivered over the course of a day, commonly used for low-to-moderate flows.
-
Liter per minute [L/min]
-
A metric unit of volumetric flow representing liters of fluid passing a point each minute, often applied in engineering and medical uses for moderate flows.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The quantity of fluid volume passing through a given area per unit of time, measured in units like L/d or L/min.
