About Converting Liter per Minutes to Metric cup per Hours
Liter per Minutes and Metric cup per Hours 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. Liter per Minutes is most often used for household tap and shower flow rates.
Formula
metric cup per hours = liter per minutes × 240
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 liter per minutes equals 0.0000166666666667 base units, and 1 metric cup per hours equals 6.944444e-8 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct liter per minutes-to-metric cup per hours factor of 240.
Simple example
1 L/min × 240 = 240 metric cup/h
1 liter per minutes = 240 metric cup per hours.
Real-world example
60 L/min × 240 = 14,400 metric cup/h
60 liter per minutes = 14,400 metric cup per hours.

Frequently asked questions
How many metric cup per hours are in 1 liter per minutes?
1 liter per minutes equals 240 metric cup per hours, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert liter per minutes to metric cup per hours?
Multiply the liter per minutes value by 240. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert metric cup per hours back to liter per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 metric cup per hours equals 0.0041666667 liter per minutes. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
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.
What is a metric cup per hours?
Metric cup per Hours (metric cup/h) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the liter per minutes to metric cup per hours conversion exact?
Yes. Both liter per minutes and metric cup per hours are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 240 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
Where is the liter per minutes still used today?
Common household and light-industrial flow specification worldwide
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.
