Millilitres per second to Litres per minute conversion

How to convert millilitres per second to litres per minute?

To convert from milliliters per second (ml/s) to liters per minute (L/min), you can use the following conversion factors:

1. There are 1000 milliliters (ml) in 1 liter (L).
2. There are 60 seconds in 1 minute.

So, to convert from ml/s to L/min, you can use the formula:

$\text{L/min} = \text{ml/s} \times \frac{1 \text{ L}}{1000 \text{ ml}} \times 60 \text{ s/min}$

Let's convert 1 ml/s to L/min:

$1 \text{ ml/s} \times \frac{1 \text{ L}}{1000 \text{ ml}} \times 60 \text{ s/min} = \frac{60}{1000} \text{ L/min} = 0.06 \text{ L/min}$

So, 1 ml/s is equal to 0.06 L/min.

Real World Examples for Other Quantities of Millilitres per Second:

1. 5 ml/s: $5 \text{ ml/s} \times \frac{1 \text{ L}}{1000 \text{ ml}} \times 60 \text{ s/min} = \frac{300}{1000} \text{ L/min} = 0.3 \text{ L/min}$ Example: A medical IV drip might deliver fluids at a rate of 5 ml/s to a patient.

2. 10 ml/s: $10 \text{ ml/s} \times \frac{1 \text{ L}}{1000 \text{ ml}} \times 60 \text{ s/min} = \frac{600}{1000} \text{ L/min} = 0.6 \text{ L/min}$ Example: A laboratory pump might deliver a chemical solution at a rate of 10 ml/s during an experiment.

3. 20 ml/s: $20 \text{ ml/s} \times \frac{1 \text{ L}}{1000 \text{ ml}} \times 60 \text{ s/min} = \frac{1200}{1000} \text{ L/min} = 1.2 \text{ L/min}$ Example: A small garden hose might have a flow rate of 20 ml/s when watering plants.

4. 50 ml/s: $50 \text{ ml/s} \times \frac{1 \text{ L}}{1000 \text{ ml}} \times 60 \text{ s/min} = \frac{3000}{1000} \text{ L/min} = 3 \text{ L/min}$ Example: A faucet in a sink might deliver water at a rate of 50 ml/s.

5. 100 ml/s: $100 \text{ ml/s} \times \frac{1 \text{ L}}{1000 \text{ ml}} \times 60 \text{ s/min} = \frac{6000}{1000} \text{ L/min} = 6 \text{ L/min}$ Example: A showerhead with a high flow rate might deliver water at 100 ml/s.

Remember, the conversion formula is:

$\text{L/min} = \text{ml/s} \times 0.06$

This can be handy for converting any flow rate from ml/s to L/min quickly.
