About Converting Liter per Minutes to Deciliter per Minutes
Liter per Minutes and Deciliter 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. Liter per Minutes is most often used for household tap and shower flow rates.
Formula
deciliter per minutes = liter per minutes × 10
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 deciliter per minutes equals 0.00000166666666667 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct liter per minutes-to-deciliter per minutes factor of 10.
Simple example
1 L/min × 10 = 10 dL/min
1 liter per minutes = 10 deciliter per minutes.
Real-world example
60 L/min × 10 = 600 dL/min
60 liter per minutes = 600 deciliter per minutes.
Conversion table
| Liter per Minutes (L/min) | Deciliter per Minutes (dL/min) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 L/min | 1 dL/min |
| 1 L/min | 10 dL/min |
| 10 L/min | 100 dL/min |
| 60 L/min | 600 dL/min |
| 100 L/min | 1,000 dL/min |
| 1,000 L/min | 10,000 dL/min |
Reverse conversion: Deciliter per Minutes to Liter per Minutes
10 dL/min × 0.1 = 1 L/min
10 deciliter per minutes = 1 liter per minutes.
liter per minutes = deciliter per minutes × 0.1

Frequently asked questions
How many deciliter per minutes are in 1 liter per minutes?
1 liter per minutes equals 10 deciliter per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert liter per minutes to deciliter per minutes?
Multiply the liter per minutes value by 10. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert deciliter per minutes back to liter per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 deciliter per minutes equals 0.1 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 deciliter per minutes?
Deciliter per Minutes (dL/min) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the liter per minutes to deciliter per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both liter per minutes and deciliter per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 10 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.
