Convert Millilitres per hour to Litres per minute
Convert Millilitres per hour (mL/h) to Litres per minute (L/min) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
L/min = mL/h × 1.666666667e-5
About Millilitres per hour
The millilitre per hour (mL/h) equals 10⁻⁶/3600 ≈ 2.778×10⁻¹⁰ m³/s, standard for intravenous infusion pumps in clinical medicine and for slow-release laboratory syringe pumps. A 1 L IV bag running over 8 hours is set to 125 mL/h; subcutaneous insulin pumps deliver 1-100 mL/h of dilute insulin. 1 mL/h ≈ 2.778×10⁻¹⁰ m³/s.
About Litres per minute
The litre per minute (L/min) equals 10⁻³/60 ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁵ m³/s, one of the most common flow units in consumer and light-industrial applications. Household washing machines use 10-15 L/min; oxygen concentrators deliver 1-10 L/min to patients; a standard garden sprinkler head discharges 15-30 L/min. 1 L/min ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁵ m³/s ≈ 0.2642 US gal/min.
