About Converting Liter per Minutes to Liters per Millisecond
Liter per Minutes and Liter per Millisecond 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
liters per millisecond = liter per minutes × 0.0000166666666667
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 liter per millisecond equals 1 base unit, so dividing one by the other gives the direct liter per minutes-to-liter per millisecond factor of 0.0000166666666667.
Simple example
1 L/min × 0.00001666666667 = 0.0000166667 L/ms
1 liter per minutes = 0.0000166667 liters per millisecond.
Real-world example
60 L/min × 0.00001666666667 = 0.001 L/ms
60 liter per minutes = 0.001 liters per millisecond.

Reverse conversion: Liter per Millisecond to Liter per Minutes
0.0000166667 L/ms × 60000 = 1.000002 L/min
0.0000166667 liters per millisecond = 1.000002 liter per minutes.
liter per minutes = liters per millisecond × 60000

Frequently asked questions
How many liters per millisecond are in 1 liter per minutes?
1 liter per minutes equals 0.0000166667 liters per millisecond, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert liter per minutes to liter per millisecond?
Multiply the liter per minutes value by 0.00001666666667. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert liter per millisecond back to liter per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 liter per millisecond equals 60,000 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 liter per millisecond?
Liter per Millisecond (L/ms) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the liter per minutes to liter per millisecond conversion exact?
Yes. Both liter per minutes and liter per millisecond are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.00001666666667 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.
