What is liter per minute (L/min)?

Liter per minute is a metric unit measuring volumetric flow, indicating how many liters of fluid or gas pass a point each minute.

Why convert L/min to mL/s?

Converting L/min to mL/s allows adapting moderate volumetric flow rates to smaller, precise rates, which is important in medical, laboratory, and engineering applications.

Is the conversion factor always the same?

Yes, 1 liter per minute equals approximately 16.6666666667 milliliters per second, based on defined volume and time units.
