About Converting Liter per Seconds to Liter per Minutes
Liter per Seconds and Liter 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 Seconds is typically associated with common in municipal water-utility and industrial flow specifications internationally, while Liter per Minutes is typically associated with common household and light-industrial flow specification worldwide.
Formula
liter per minutes = liter per seconds × 60
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 liter per seconds equals 0.001 base units, and 1 liter per minutes equals 0.0000166666666667 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct liter per seconds-to-liter per minutes factor of 60.
Simple example
1 L/s × 60 = 60 L/min
1 liter per seconds = 60 liter per minutes.
Real-world example
60 L/s × 60 = 3,600 L/min
60 liter per seconds = 3,600 liter per minutes.
Conversion table
| Liter per Seconds (L/s) | Liter per Minutes (L/min) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 L/s | 6 L/min |
| 1 L/s | 60 L/min |
| 10 L/s | 600 L/min |
| 60 L/s | 3,600 L/min |
| 100 L/s | 6,000 L/min |
| 1,000 L/s | 60,000 L/min |
Reverse conversion: Liter per Minutes to Liter per Seconds
60 L/min × 0.01666666667 = 1 L/s
60 liter per minutes = 1 liter per seconds.
liter per seconds = liter per minutes × 0.0166666666667

Understanding the Liter per Seconds
Liter per Seconds (L/s) measures volumetric flow rate. One liter of volume passing a point every second — used for larger flows than liter-per-minute conveniently describes. It is classified as a metric derived flow-rate unit.
Where it's used: Common in municipal water-utility and industrial flow specifications internationally
L/s vs. L/min. Both measure the same quantity at different time scales; 1 L/s equals 60 L/min. L/s is typically used for larger, continuous industrial or utility flows, while L/min suits smaller household-scale flows.
Uses of the Liter per Seconds today
- Municipal water supply and treatment plant flow rates
- Industrial process flow specifications
- Stream and river discharge measurement at moderate scales
Understanding the 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.
Where it's used: Common household and light-industrial flow specification worldwide
Uses of the Liter per Minutes today
- Household tap and shower flow rates
- Aquarium, pool, and irrigation pump specifications
- Small-scale industrial and laboratory flow measurement

Frequently asked questions
How many liter per minutes are in 1 liter per seconds?
1 liter per seconds equals 60 liter per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert liter per seconds to liter per minutes?
Multiply the liter per seconds value by 60. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert liter per minutes back to liter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 liter per minutes equals 0.0166666667 liter per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a liter per seconds?
Liter per Seconds (L/s) measures volumetric flow rate. One liter of volume passing a point every second — used for larger flows than liter-per-minute conveniently describes. It is classified as a metric derived flow-rate unit.
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.
Is the liter per seconds to liter per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both liter per seconds and liter per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 60 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What is the difference between l/s vs. l/min?
Both measure the same quantity at different time scales; 1 L/s equals 60 L/min. L/s is typically used for larger, continuous industrial or utility flows, while L/min suits smaller household-scale flows.
Where is the liter per seconds still used today?
Common in municipal water-utility and industrial flow specifications internationally
