What Is This Tool?
This unit converter converts flow rates from liter/minute (L/min) to milliliter/minute (mL/min), helping users measure and control fluid volumes passing a point per minute. It supports applications in medical, laboratory, and engineering fields.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in liter/minute (L/min).
-
Select the source unit as liter/minute and the target unit as milliliter/minute.
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent value in milliliter/minute (mL/min).
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates between liter/minute and milliliter/minute units.
-
Uses the exact conversion formula where 1 L/min equals 1000 mL/min.
-
Suitable for applications in medical therapy, laboratory experiments, and analytical chemistry.
-
Provides a browser-based, easy-to-use interface for quick conversions.
Examples
-
Convert 2 L/min: 2 L/min × 1000 = 2000 mL/min.
-
Convert 0.5 L/min: 0.5 L/min × 1000 = 500 mL/min.
Common Use Cases
-
Setting respiratory therapy oxygen flow rates in medical settings.
-
Measuring and controlling small pump flow rates in aquariums or laboratories.
-
Adjusting infusion rates for intravenous drug delivery in healthcare.
-
Managing flow in microfluidic and cell culture experiments.
-
Specifying low flow rates in chromatography and chemical reactors.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure you select the correct units before performing conversions.
-
Use accurate instruments when measuring flow rates at milliliter-per-minute scale.
-
Apply this conversion for steady flow conditions to maintain reliability.
Limitations
-
Conversion does not account for measurement errors in flow rate instruments.
-
Does not consider fluid properties like viscosity that can affect flow measurements.
-
Assumes a steady flow; fluctuating flows may require additional considerations.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the conversion factor between liter/minute and milliliter/minute?
-
1 liter/minute is equal to 1000 milliliter/minute.
-

Key Terminology
-
Liter per minute (L/min)
-
A metric unit of volumetric flow rate measuring the volume of fluid passing a point each minute, commonly used in engineering and medical applications.
-
Milliliter per minute (mL/min)
-
A volumetric flow rate unit representing one milliliter of fluid flowing per minute, used for small and precise flow measurements in medical and laboratory settings.
