What Is This Tool?
This converter helps you switch between the flow units liter per second and cubic centimeter per minute, measuring how much volume passes a point in a given time. It is designed for diverse applications including fluid flow measurement and control in scientific, medical, and engineering settings.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Input the value in liter/second you want to convert.
-
Choose the target unit as cubic centimeter per minute.
-
Click convert to see the equivalent flow rate in cubic centimeters per minute.
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates from liter/second to cubic centimeter/minute accurately.
-
Browser-based and simple to use without the need for complex calculations.
-
Supports applications in medical dosing, microfluidics, HVAC, and more.
Examples
-
Convert 2 L/s to cubic centimeter per minute: 2 × 60000 = 120000 cm³/min.
-
Convert 0.5 L/s to cubic centimeter per minute: 0.5 × 60000 = 30000 cm³/min.

Measuring domestic water flow rates like taps and showers.
-
Setting infusion or syringe-pump delivery rates in medical treatments.
-
Analyzing microfluidic and chromatography flows in laboratory equipment.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this tool for flow measurements requiring conversion to finer scales.
-
Ensure input values represent steady flow for accurate conversion results.
-
Consider equipment calibration for precise measurements in critical applications.
Limitations
-
Assumes constant flow without accounting for fluid viscosity or temperature effects.
-
Precision can be affected by measurement device limitations and flow variability.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 liter/second equal in cubic centimeter per minute?
-
1 liter per second equals 60000 cubic centimeters per minute.
-
In which fields is converting from liter per second to cubic centimeter per minute useful?
-
This conversion is especially useful in medical dosing, laboratory research like microfluidics, chromatography, HVAC system design, and small-scale industrial fluid handling.
-
Does this converter consider fluid properties like viscosity?
-
No, the conversion assumes constant flow and does not account for fluid properties such as viscosity or temperature.
Key Terminology
-
Liter/second [L/s]
-
A unit of volumetric flow rate indicating one liter of volume passing through a point every second, used in engineering and laboratory settings.
-
Cubic centimeter/minute
-
A volumetric flow rate unit equal to one cubic centimeter passing a point each minute, equivalent to milliliters per minute, used for measuring small fluid flows.
