Calculation, assumptions and sources

OverviewA volumetric flow rate converted between microlitres per minute and per hour, millilitres and litres per minute, litres per hour and per second, cubic metres per hour and per second, over more than ten orders of magnitude, from a microfluidic syringe pump to an industrial pump.

Method & formulasQ = v × A
Q = v × A1 µL/min = 1.667 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/s

A volumetric flow rate is the product of a mean velocity and a cross-section. At equal flow rate, velocity varies as the inverse of the cross-section: a few µL/min give several mm/s in a microfluidic channel.

Validity domainMass flow rate (kg/s, g/min) is a different quantity; conversion requires the fluid density and, for a gas, the temperature and pressure.

Mass flow rate (kg/s, g/min) is a different quantity; conversion requires the fluid density and, for a gas, the temperature and pressure. Industrial flow meters express gases in “normal litres” (Nm³/h), referred to explicitly stated reference conditions.
