About Converting Liters per Millisecond to Megaliter per Seconds
Liter per Millisecond and Megaliter 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
megaliter per seconds = liters per millisecond × 0.001
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 liter per millisecond equals 1 base unit, and 1 megaliter per seconds equals 1000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct liter per millisecond-to-megaliter per seconds factor of 0.001.
Simple example
1 L/ms × 0.001 = 0.001 ML/s
1 liter per millisecond = 0.001 megaliter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 L/ms × 0.001 = 0.06 ML/s
60 liters per millisecond = 0.06 megaliter per seconds.
Conversion table
| Liter per Millisecond (L/ms) | Megaliter per Seconds (ML/s) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 L/ms | 0.0001 ML/s |
| 1 L/ms | 0.001 ML/s |
| 10 L/ms | 0.01 ML/s |
| 60 L/ms | 0.06 ML/s |
| 100 L/ms | 0.1 ML/s |
| 1,000 L/ms | 1 ML/s |
Reverse conversion: Megaliter per Seconds to Liter per Millisecond
0.001 ML/s × 1000 = 1 L/ms
0.001 megaliter per seconds = 1 liter per millisecond.
liters per millisecond = megaliter per seconds × 1000

Frequently asked questions
How many megaliter per seconds are in 1 liter per millisecond?
1 liter per millisecond equals 0.001 megaliter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert liter per millisecond to megaliter per seconds?
Multiply the liter per millisecond value by 0.001. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert megaliter per seconds back to liter per millisecond?
Use the reverse factor: 1 megaliter per seconds equals 1,000 liters per millisecond. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a liter per millisecond?
Liter per Millisecond (L/ms) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a megaliter per seconds?
Megaliter per Seconds (ML/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the liter per millisecond to megaliter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both liter per millisecond and megaliter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.001 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.
