Cubic Centimeter per Second to Liter per Minute (cm³/s to LPM)
Convert cm³/s to LPM — Flow Rate converter
Also written as cm3/s to LPM.
One cubic centimeter per second equals 0.06 LPM, so to convert cubic centimeters per second to liters per minute you multiply the value by 0.06. A cubic centimeter per second is smaller than a liter per minute — going the other way, 1 LPM = 16.666667 cm³/s. For example, 10 cm³/s = 0.6 LPM and 50 cm³/s = 3 LPM.
1 cm³/s = 0.06 LPM
Cubic Centimeter per Second to Liter per Minute formula
1 Cubic Centimeter per Second = 0.06 LPM
Worked examples
- 25 cm³/s = 1.5 LPM
- 100 cm³/s = 6 LPM

Which gallon, and which trade
The single most expensive mistake in flow conversion is the gallon. A US liquid gallon is 3.785411784 litres; an imperial gallon is 4.54609 litres. US GPM and imperial GPM differ by about 20%, and pump datasheets frequently do not say which one they mean. Check the manufacturer's country of origin before trusting a GPM figure.
Different trades default to different units for the same physical quantity: HVAC and compressed air work in CFM, plumbing and pumps in GPM or LPM, and process and water engineering in m³/h or L/s. A specification that mixes them is usually quoting different equipment, not different flows. On this page, 1 cm³/s = 0.06 LPM.
