Flow Rate Converter - Liters/second, Gallons/minute, m³/hour

Stay up to date with all the tools.

Convert volumetric flow rates between different units. Essential for hydraulic engineering, irrigation systems, industrial processes, and water treatment.

What is volumetric flow rate?

Volumetric flow rate is the volume of fluid that passes through a section per unit of time, measured in units such as liters per second (L/s) or cubic meters per hour (m³/h).

Available flow rate units

Convert between liters per second (L/s), liters per minute (L/min), cubic meters per hour (m³/h), gallons per minute (GPM), cubic feet per second (cfs), and other units.

Applications in hydraulics

Hydraulic engineers use conversions to size pumps, calculate pipe capacities, design water distribution systems, and optimize hydraulic networks.

Irrigation systems

In irrigation, flow rate determines how long it takes to irrigate a given area. Conversions facilitate planning, equipment selection, and optimization of water use.

Water Treatment

Treatment plants specify processing flow rates. Conversions help size tanks, calculate residence times, choose equipment, and ensure quality.

Process Industry

Chemical and food industries control flow rates to ensure product quality. Conversions facilitate process scheduling, documentation, and production control.

Firefighting Systems

Fire pumps are specified in GPM or L/s. Conversions are essential for compliance with regulations, proper sizing, and ensuring safety.
