About volumetric flow rate units
Volumetric flow rate is the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time. Pumps and plumbing in the US are rated in gallons per minute, fans and HVAC in cubic feet per minute, and process equipment elsewhere in m³/h or L/min.

Frequently asked questions
What is the SI unit of volumetric flow rate?
This converter uses the cubic meter per second (m³/s) as its reference unit; every other unit is defined relative to it.
How many volumetric flow rate units can I convert?
17 units are supported here, across SI, Metric, US customary, Imperial systems. Every pair can be converted in both directions.
Does this volumetric flow rate converter work offline?
