Liters per Hour to Milliliters per Minute Converter
Convert flow rate from liters per hour to milliliters per minute.
Instructions:
- Enter the flow rate in **liters per hour**.
- Click “Convert” to get the result in **milliliters per minute**.
If you need to convert liters per hour (L/h) to milliliters per minute (mL/min), this guide will provide you with the conversion formula, a reference table, and practical examples for a smoother conversion process.
Conversion Formula
To convert liters per hour (L/h) to milliliters per minute (mL/min), use the following formula:
Milliliters per Minute = Liters per Hour × 16.6667
Explanation:
- 1 liter (L) = 1,000 milliliters (mL)
- 1 hour (h) = 60 minutes (min)
Therefore, to convert liters per hour to milliliters per minute, multiply by 16.6667 (since 1 L/h is equivalent to 1,000 mL ÷ 60 minutes = 16.6667 mL/min).
Conversion Table: Liters per Hour to Milliliters per Minute
Here’s a quick reference table for converting liters per hour (L/h) to milliliters per minute (mL/min):
Liters per Hour (L/h) | Milliliters per Minute (mL/min) |
---|---|
1 | 16.6667 |
5 | 83.3335 |
10 | 166.667 |
20 | 333.334 |
50 | 833.335 |
100 | 1,666.667 |
500 | 8,333.335 |
1,000 | 16,666.670 |
5,000 | 83,333.335 |
10,000 | 166,666.670 |
Quick Conversion Example
Let’s say you have 8 liters per hour (L/h) and want to convert it to milliliters per minute (mL/min).
Milliliters per Minute = 8 × 16.6667 = 133.3336 mL/min
So, 8 liters per hour is equal to approximately 133.33 milliliters per minute.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How do I convert milliliters per minute to liters per hour?
To convert milliliters per minute (mL/min) to liters per hour (L/h), use the inverse formula:
Liters per Hour = Milliliters per Minute ÷ 16.6667
For example, to convert 500 mL/min to liters per hour:
Liters per Hour = 500 ÷ 16.6667 = 30 L/h
2. Why do we multiply by 16.6667 in this conversion?
We multiply by 16.6667 because 1 liter per hour is equivalent to 1,000 milliliters divided by 60 minutes, which results in 16.6667 milliliters per minute.
3. Can I use an online converter for this?
Yes! Online converters are a fast and convenient way to convert liters per hour to milliliters per minute. Simply input the value in liters per hour, and the result will be displayed in milliliters per minute.
4. Where is this conversion used?
This conversion is useful in flow rate calculations for liquids, pumps, industrial processes, and water treatment plants, where precise measurement of liquid flow is needed over time.
Conclusion
Now that you have the formula, conversion table, and example, converting liters per hour (L/h) to milliliters per minute (mL/min) is a straightforward process. Whether you’re working with fluid systems, pumps, or any other applications that involve flow rates, this conversion factor will help you make accurate calculations. Online tools can make the process even faster, but the formula is helpful for manual calculations when needed.
