Litres per minute to Litres per hour conversion

How to convert litres per minute to litres per hour?

To convert litres per minute (L/min) to litres per hour (L/h), you need to multiply the value by the number of minutes in an hour. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, the conversion formula is:

$\text{Litres per hour} = \text{Litres per minute} \times 60$

For example, to convert 1 L/min to L/h:

$1 \, \text{L/min} \times 60 = 60 \, \text{L/h}$

Here are some real-world examples for other quantities of litres per minute and their conversions to litres per hour:

1. Garden Hose

   • Flow rate: 10 L/min
   • Converted: $10 \, \text{L/min} \times 60 = 600 \, \text{L/h}$

2. Aquarium Filter

   • Flow rate: 5 L/min
   • Converted: $5 \, \text{L/min} \times 60 = 300 \, \text{L/h}$

3. Drip Irrigation System

   • Flow rate: 0.5 L/min
   • Converted: $0.5 \, \text{L/min} \times 60 = 30 \, \text{L/h}$

4. Industrial Water Pump

   • Flow rate: 100 L/min
   • Converted: $100 \, \text{L/min} \times 60 = 6000 \, \text{L/h}$

5. Medical IV Drip

   • Flow rate: 0.02 L/min (which is 20 mL/min)
   • Converted: $0.02 \, \text{L/min} \times 60 = 1.2 \, \text{L/h}$

These examples illustrate how different applications can have vastly different flow rates, making it important to understand the appropriate unit conversions for context.
