About Converting Liter per Minutes to Milliliter per Seconds
Liter per Minutes and Milliliter 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
milliliter per seconds = liter per minutes × 16.6666666667
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 milliliter per seconds equals 0.000001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct liter per minutes-to-milliliter per seconds factor of 16.6666666667.
Simple example
1 L/min × 16.66666667 = 16.66666667 mL/s
1 liter per minutes = 16.66666667 milliliter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 L/min × 16.66666667 = 1,000 mL/s
60 liter per minutes = 1,000 milliliter per seconds.

Reverse conversion: Milliliter per Seconds to Liter per Minutes
16.66666667 mL/s × 0.06 = 1 L/min
16.66666667 milliliter per seconds = 1 liter per minutes.
liter per minutes = milliliter per seconds × 0.06

Frequently asked questions
How many milliliter per seconds are in 1 liter per minutes?
1 liter per minutes equals 16.66666667 milliliter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert liter per minutes to milliliter per seconds?
Multiply the liter per minutes value by 16.66666667. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert milliliter per seconds back to liter per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 milliliter per seconds equals 0.06 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 milliliter per seconds?
Milliliter per Seconds (mL/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the liter per minutes to milliliter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both liter per minutes and milliliter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 16.66666667 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.
