Cubic Meter per Second to Liter per Minute (m³/s to LPM)
Convert m³/s to LPM — Flow Rate converter
Also written as m3/s to LPM.
One cubic meter per second equals 60000 LPM, so to convert cubic meters per second to liters per minute you multiply the value by 60000. A cubic meter per second is larger than a liter per minute — going the other way, 1 LPM = 0.0000166667 m³/s. For example, 10 m³/s = 600000 LPM and 50 m³/s = 3000000 LPM.
1 m³/s = 60000 LPM
Cubic Meter per Second to Liter per Minute formula
1 Cubic Meter per Second = 60000 LPM
Worked examples
- 25 m³/s = 1500000 LPM
- 100 m³/s = 6000000 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 m³/s = 60000 LPM.
