About Converting Liter per Minutes to Megaliter per Minutes
Liter per Minutes and Megaliter 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
megaliter per minutes = liter per minutes × 0.000001
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 megaliter per minutes equals 16.6666666667 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct liter per minutes-to-megaliter per minutes factor of 0.000001.
Simple example
1 L/min × 0.000001 = 0.000001 ML/min
1 liter per minutes = 0.000001 megaliter per minutes.
Real-world example
60 L/min × 0.000001 = 0.00006 ML/min
60 liter per minutes = 0.00006 megaliter per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many megaliter per minutes are in 1 liter per minutes?
1 liter per minutes equals 0.000001 megaliter per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert liter per minutes to megaliter per minutes?
Multiply the liter per minutes value by 0.000001. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert megaliter per minutes back to liter per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 megaliter per minutes equals 1,000,000 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 megaliter per minutes?
Megaliter per Minutes (ML/min) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the liter per minutes to megaliter per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both liter per minutes and megaliter per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.000001 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.
