-
Instrument precision limits may impact reliability of conversions for very small flows.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one liter per second represent?
-
It is the volume of one liter of fluid flowing through a cross-section every second.
-
Why convert liter per second to milliliter per second?
-
To measure or control smaller, more precise flow rates in contexts like laboratory and medical equipment.
-
What is the conversion rate from L/s to mL/s?
-
One liter per second equals one thousand milliliters per second.
Key Terminology
-
Liter per second [L/s]
-
A volumetric flow unit measuring the amount of fluid passing a point every second equal to one liter.
-
Milliliter per second [mL/s]
-
A smaller volumetric flow unit representing one milliliter of fluid passing a point each second.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The quantity of fluid which passes through a cross-section per unit time.
