Convert Millilitres per minute to Millilitres per second
Convert Millilitres per minute (mL/min) to Millilitres per second (mL/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
mL/s = mL/min × 0.01666666667
About Millilitres per minute
The millilitre per minute (mL/min) equals 10⁻⁶/60 ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁸ m³/s, the standard flow rate unit for HPLC and preparative chromatography. A reverse-phase HPLC column (4.6 mm i.d.) operates at 1-2 mL/min; a cardiac output catheter measures 4 000-8 000 mL/min (= L/min). 1 mL/min ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁸ m³/s = 60 mL/h.
About Millilitres per second
The millilitre per second (mL/s) equals 10⁻⁶ m³/s, common in laboratory syringe pumps, HPLC systems, and medical infusion devices. A standard IV drip running at 1 mL/s would deliver 3.6 L/h - a rapid infusion rate used in resuscitation; analytical HPLC columns run 0.5-5 mL/s. 1 mL/s = 10⁻⁶ m³/s = 60 mL/min = 3.6 L/h.
