Conversion Formula

m³/min = L/h × 1.666666667e-5

About Litres per hour

The litre per hour (L/h) equals 10⁻³/3600 ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁷ m³/s, widely used in automotive fuel consumption (L/h), irrigation drip systems, and small pump specifications. A fuel cell vehicle running on hydrogen consumes ±2 L/h of liquid equivalent; a domestic water softener regeneration cycle uses 40-100 L/h of brine. 1 L/h ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁷ m³/s ≈ 0.2642 US gal/h.

About Cubic metres per minute

The cubic metre per minute (m³/min) equals 1/60 m³/s ≈ 1.667×10⁻² m³/s, used in large compressor and blower specifications, tunnel ventilation design, and industrial air-handling. A mine-ventilation fan may move 1 000-5 000 m³/min; an industrial rotary-screw compressor delivers 5-50 m³/min of free air. 1 m³/min = 1 000 L/min ≈ 35.31 ft³/min ≈ 264.2 US gal/min.
