About Converting Cubic yard per Seconds to Liter per Minutes
Cubic yard per Seconds and Liter 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
liter per minutes = cubic yard per seconds × 45873.291479
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic yard per seconds equals 0.764554857984 base units, and 1 liter per minutes equals 0.0000166666666667 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic yard per seconds-to-liter per minutes factor of 45873.291479.
Simple example
1 yd3/s × 45873.29148 = 45,873.29148 L/min
1 cubic yard per seconds = 45,873.29148 liter per minutes.
Real-world example
60 yd3/s × 45873.29148 = 2,752,397.489 L/min
60 cubic yard per seconds = 2,752,397.489 liter per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many liter per minutes are in 1 cubic yard per seconds?
1 cubic yard per seconds equals 45,873.29148 liter per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic yard per seconds to liter per minutes?
Multiply the cubic yard per seconds value by 45873.29148. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert liter per minutes back to cubic yard per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 liter per minutes equals 0.0000217992 cubic yard per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a cubic yard per seconds?
Cubic yard per Seconds (yd3/s) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a liter per minutes?
Liter per Minutes (L/min) measures volumetric flow rate. One liter of volume passing a point every minute. It is classified as a metric derived flow-rate unit.
Is the cubic yard per seconds to liter per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic yard per seconds and liter per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 45873.29148 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.
