What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms flow measurements from liter per hour to liter per minute, enabling easier comparison and control of liquid flow rates across various applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in liter per hour (L/h).
-
Select the units to convert from L/h to L/min.
-
Click the convert button to view the result in liter per minute (L/min).
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates between liter/hour and liter/minute units.
-
Easy-to-use, browser-based tool for quick and accurate conversions.
-
Supports applications in engineering, medical, and industrial contexts.
Examples
-
60 L/h equals 1 L/min (60 × 0.0166666667 = 1).
-
10 L/h equals 0.166666667 L/min (10 × 0.0166666667 = 0.166666667).
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying fuel consumption rates of small engines, portable generators, and boats.
-
Setting dosing rates for chemical and fertilizer pumps in industrial and laboratory settings.
-
Monitoring respiratory therapy flow rates and medical oxygen delivery.
-
Measuring beverage dispensing and controlling liquid flow in process equipment.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure consistent units are used when comparing or configuring flow rates.
-
Use this conversion when you need to align flow measurements expressed in different time bases.
-
Check for steady flow conditions to improve conversion reliability.
-
Account for system or fluid variations separately, as this tool only converts time units.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes constant flow without fluctuations or pulsations.
-
Does not consider fluid properties such as viscosity or temperature that may affect flow behavior.
-
Converts only time units, not accounting for other physical factors influencing flow.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 liter/hour represent in flow measurement?
-
It is the volume of liquid passing a point every hour, used for low to moderate flow rates in engineering and process settings.
-
Why convert flow rates from liters per hour to liters per minute?
-
To align measurements for easier comparison or control when systems use different time units for flow rates.
-
Can this conversion account for changes in fluid viscosity?
-
No, it only adjusts for time units and does not include fluid properties like viscosity or temperature.
Key Terminology
-
Liter per hour [L/h]
-
A volumetric flow rate unit measuring liquid volume passing a point each hour; typically used for low to moderate continuous flows.
-
Liter per minute [L/min]
-
A metric unit measuring the volume of fluid or gas passing a point each minute, often used in engineering and medical applications.
