-
10 liter/day (L/d) converts to 6.944444444 milliliter/minute (mL/min)
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring household or per-capita water consumption daily
-
Calculating IV infusion and drug delivery rates in medical applications
-
Controlling small-scale wastewater or chemical dosing volumes over a day
-
Regulating flow in laboratory microfluidic and perfusion experiments
-

Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure steady, continuous flow measurements for accurate conversion
-
Use calibrated instruments to measure flow rates precisely
-
Apply the conversion for controlled minute-scale dosing or experimental flows
-
Consider environmental factors that might influence low flow measurements
Limitations
-
Assumes steady and continuous flow without accounting for pulsatile or irregular flow patterns
-
Accuracy can be influenced by instrument calibration and measurement conditions
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 liter/day equal in milliliter/minute?
-
1 liter per day equals approximately 0.6944444444 milliliters per minute.
-
Can this conversion be used for medical intravenous infusions?
-
Yes, converting liter/day to milliliter/minute is commonly used to set and report infusion rates in medical settings.
-
Is this conversion suitable for irregular flow rates?
-
No, the conversion assumes steady flow and may not be accurate for irregular or pulsatile flow patterns.
Key Terminology
-
Liter per day (L/d)
-
A unit indicating the volume in liters passing or moved per day, used for daily flow measurements.
-
Milliliter per minute (mL/min)
-
A unit representing volume flow where one milliliter passes a point each minute, used for precise low flow rates.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The quantity of fluid volume that passes through a surface per unit time.
