About Converting Hectoliter per Minutes to Deciliter per Seconds
Hectoliter per Minutes and Deciliter per Seconds 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 seconds = hectoliter per minutes × 16.6666666667
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 hectoliter per minutes equals 0.00166666666667 base units, and 1 deciliter per seconds equals 0.0001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct hectoliter per minutes-to-deciliter per seconds factor of 16.6666666667.
Simple example
1 hL/min × 16.66666667 = 16.66666667 dL/s
1 hectoliter per minutes = 16.66666667 deciliter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 hL/min × 16.66666667 = 1,000 dL/s
60 hectoliter per minutes = 1,000 deciliter per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many deciliter per seconds are in 1 hectoliter per minutes?
1 hectoliter per minutes equals 16.66666667 deciliter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert hectoliter per minutes to deciliter per seconds?
Multiply the hectoliter per minutes value by 16.66666667. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert deciliter per seconds back to hectoliter per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 deciliter per seconds equals 0.06 hectoliter per minutes. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a hectoliter per minutes?
Hectoliter per Minutes (hL/min) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a deciliter per seconds?
Deciliter per Seconds (dL/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the hectoliter per minutes to deciliter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both hectoliter per minutes and deciliter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 16.66666667 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.
