About Converting Centiliter per Minutes to Deciliter per Minutes
Centiliter per Minutes and Deciliter per Minutes both measure volumetric flow rate — how much volume passes a point over time — used to size pipes and pumps, monitor river or stream discharge, control industrial processes, and set medical infusion rates. Both are volumetric flow rate units.
Formula
deciliter per minutes = centiliter per minutes × 0.1
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centiliter per minutes equals 1.666667e-7 base units, and 1 deciliter per minutes equals 0.00000166666666667 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centiliter per minutes-to-deciliter per minutes factor of 0.1.
Simple example
1 cL/min × 0.1 = 0.1 dL/min
1 centiliter per minutes = 0.1 deciliter per minutes.
Real-world example
60 cL/min × 0.1 = 6 dL/min
60 centiliter per minutes = 6 deciliter per minutes.
Conversion table

|---|---|
| 0.1 cL/min | 0.01 dL/min |
| 1 cL/min | 0.1 dL/min |
| 10 cL/min | 1 dL/min |
| 60 cL/min | 6 dL/min |
| 100 cL/min | 10 dL/min |
| 1,000 cL/min | 100 dL/min |
Reverse conversion: Deciliter per Minutes to Centiliter per Minutes
0.1 dL/min × 10 = 1 cL/min
0.1 deciliter per minutes = 1 centiliter per minutes.
centiliter per minutes = deciliter per minutes × 10

Frequently asked questions
How many deciliter per minutes are in 1 centiliter per minutes?
1 centiliter per minutes equals 0.1 deciliter per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centiliter per minutes to deciliter per minutes?
Multiply the centiliter per minutes value by 0.1. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert deciliter per minutes back to centiliter per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 deciliter per minutes equals 10 centiliter per minutes. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a centiliter per minutes?
Centiliter per Minutes (cL/min) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a deciliter per minutes?
Deciliter per Minutes (dL/min) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the centiliter per minutes to deciliter per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both centiliter per minutes and deciliter per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.1 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between volumetric and mass flow rate?
Volumetric flow rate measures the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time (for example, liters per second). Mass flow rate measures the mass instead. For a fluid of constant density the two are directly proportional, but for compressible fluids like gases, mass flow is often the more meaningful quantity.
