About Converting Liter per Minutes to Cup per Seconds
Liter per Minutes and Cup 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. Liter per Minutes is most often used for household tap and shower flow rates.
Formula
cup per seconds = liter per minutes × 0.0704458806288
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 cup per seconds equals 0.0002365882365 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct liter per minutes-to-cup per seconds factor of 0.0704458806288.
Simple example
1 L/min × 0.07044588063 = 0.0704458806 cup/s
1 liter per minutes = 0.0704458806 cup per seconds.
Real-world example
60 L/min × 0.07044588063 = 4.226752838 cup/s
60 liter per minutes = 4.226752838 cup per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many cup per seconds are in 1 liter per minutes?
1 liter per minutes equals 0.0704458806 cup per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert liter per minutes to cup per seconds?
Multiply the liter per minutes value by 0.07044588063. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cup per seconds back to liter per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cup per seconds equals 14.19529419 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 cup per seconds?
Cup per Seconds (cup/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the liter per minutes to cup per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both liter per minutes and cup per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.07044588063 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.
