What does liter/second measure?

Liter per second measures volumetric flow as liters of fluid passing every second, used mainly for large or rapid flows.

When is milliliter/hour used?

Milliliter per hour is used to measure very slow continuous flows, such as in medical infusions or precise laboratory dosing.

How do I convert from L/s to mL/h?

Multiply the value in liter/second by 3,600,000 to get the equivalent flow rate in milliliter/hour.

Is this converter suitable for fluctuating flows?

No, it assumes a steady, continuous flow and may not accurately reflect variable or pulsatile flows.

What Is This Tool?

This converter helps translate volumetric flow rates from liter per second (L/s), used for large and rapid fluid flow, into milliliter per hour (mL/h), which measures very slow and precise flow typically found in medical, laboratory, and process control scenarios.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow rate value in liters per second (L/s).
Select liter/second as the input unit and milliliter/hour as the output unit.
Click the convert button to get the equivalent flow rate in mL/h.
Review the result for applications such as dosing or process control.
Use examples as a reference to understand scale differences.

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow rates between liter/second and milliliter/hour units.
Based on the exact conversion rate of 1 L/s = 3,600,000 mL/h.
Supports applications in medical infusions, laboratory dosing, and environmental monitoring.
Browser-based tool that is easy to use without needing special software.
Provides clear examples for quick understanding.

Examples

0.5 liter/second (L/s) equals 1,800,000 milliliter/hour (mL/h).
2 liter/second (L/s) equals 7,200,000 milliliter/hour (mL/h).

Common Use Cases

Measuring water flow from taps and small plumbing fixtures in domestic settings.
Specifying pump output rates in laboratory and process applications.
Setting precise infusion pump rates for clinical drug delivery.
Controlling reagent addition in laboratory experiments and microreactors.
Monitoring chemical dosing for environmental and process control tasks.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the flow is steady and continuous, as variability can affect accuracy.
Use this converter to scale large flow measurements to precise small flow requirements.
Verify unit selections carefully before conversion to avoid errors.
Refer to this guide when working in medical or laboratory dosing scenarios.
Understand the context of flow rates to apply correct units appropriately.

Limitations

This conversion assumes steady, continuous flows and does not account for pulsatile or fluctuating rates.
Large rapid flows in L/s converted to very slow mL/h values require attention to the precision of measurement.
It may not be suitable for applications requiring dynamic flow variation analysis.
