About this tool

Flow rate is the volume of liquid or gas passing per unit of time – pumps, taps and fans are rated in litres per minute, cubic metres per hour, US gallons per minute or cubic feet per minute.

Here every value is converted through the cubic meter per second (m³/s). Choose any two of the 9 units below the converter, or start from one of the popular conversions.
