What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms volumetric flow values from milliliter per second (mL/s) to cubic centimeter per minute (cm³/min). Both units measure flow rate of liquids or gases, commonly applied in medical dosing, laboratory procedures, and engineering contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in milliliter per second (mL/s) you want to convert
-
Select milliliter/second as the source unit and cubic centimeter/minute as the target unit
-
Perform the conversion to obtain the equivalent flow rate in cm³/min
Key Features
-
Converts flow rates from mL/s to cm³/min with a fixed conversion factor
-
Supports applications in medical, laboratory, and engineering fields
-
Browser-based and straightforward for quick flow unit conversions
Examples
-
2 mL/s converts to 120 cm³/min
-
0.5 mL/s converts to 30 cm³/min
Common Use Cases
-
Setting and reporting flow rates for syringe pumps and infusion devices in medical dosing
-
Calibrating laboratory equipment such as microfluidic systems and chromatographs
-
Measuring small gas or liquid flows in respiratory testing and instrumentation
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure flow rates are steady for accurate conversions
-
Use this conversion primarily for incompressible fluids or controlled lab conditions
-
Confirm volume equivalence since 1 mL equals 1 cm³ before converting
Limitations
-
Does not account for temperature or pressure changes affecting fluid density or flow
-
Assumes steady flow and volume equivalence conditions
-
Most accurate for incompressible fluids or controlled measurement environments
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the relationship between milliliter/second and cubic centimeter/minute?
-
One milliliter per second is equivalent to sixty cubic centimeters per minute because both units represent volumetric flow, with one milliliter equal to one cubic centimeter.
-
In which fields is converting mL/s to cm³/min commonly used?
-
This conversion is often used in medical dosing, microfluidics, chromatography, respiratory testing, and precision laboratory and engineering applications.
-
Does this conversion consider variations in temperature or pressure?
-
No, the conversion assumes steady flow rates without accounting for changes in temperature or pressure that may affect fluid density or volumetric flow.
Key Terminology
-
Milliliter per second (mL/s)
-
A metric unit measuring volumetric flow rate, indicating one milliliter of fluid passing a point each second.
-
Cubic centimeter per minute (cm³/min)
-
A volumetric flow rate unit representing one cubic centimeter of volume passing a point each minute, equivalent to milliliters per minute.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid that passes through a given surface per unit of time.
