For fluids other than water, multiply by the actual density in kg/L.
LPM to kg/s Calculator
Convert volumetric flow in LPM into kg/s for water-based pump, pipe, and process calculations.
Density turns volume flow into mass flow.
Use density in kg/L. Water is approximately 1 kg/L.
LPM to kg/s
LPM to kg/s converts liters per minute into kilograms per second using fluid density. Entities include density, specific gravity, water, fuel, oil, liquids, SI units, mass flow rate, Coriolis meters, pumps, and process piping.
LPM to kg/s Calculator
The LPM to kg/s calculator uses water-like density by default. For fuel, oil, chemicals, or process liquids, use the actual density in kg/L.
Convert LPM to kg/s
To convert LPM to kg/s, multiply LPM by density in kg/L and divide by 60.
Liters Per Minute to kg/s
Liters per minute to kg/s changes volumetric flow into mass flow. This requires density because one liter of water, fuel, oil, or solvent can have a different mass.
How to Convert LPM to kg/s
Find LPM.
Find density in kg/L.
Multiply LPM by density.
Divide by 60 to get kg/s.
How to Calculate kg/s from LPM
For water, density is about 1 kg/L.
How Many kg/s in 1 LPM?
For water, 1 LPM = 0.016667 kg/s. For diesel, gasoline, oil, or other liquids, multiply by the actual density ratio.
LPM to kg/s Formula
Water estimate: kg/s = LPM / 60.
Mass Flow Rate from LPM
Mass flow rate from LPM is used in process engineering, heat transfer, fuel systems, cooling loops, dosing systems, and material balance calculations.
LPM to Mass Flow Rate
LPM to mass flow rate requires density. Coriolis meters measure mass flow directly, while many rotameters and magnetic flow meters measure volume flow.
LPM to kg Per Second
LPM to kg per second is the same as LPM to kg/s and is common in SI engineering calculations.
LPM to kg/s for Water
For water near standard conditions, density is approximately 1 kg/L, so 60 LPM is about 1 kg/s.
LPM to kg/s for Fuel
LPM to kg/s for fuel depends on fuel density. Diesel, gasoline, kerosene, and fuel oil should use manufacturer or lab density data.
LPM to kg/s for Liquids
For liquids such as water, oil, glycol, solvent, or chemicals, use density or specific gravity at operating temperature.
kg/s to LPM
Use density in kg/L.
Mass Flow Rate Conversion
Mass flow rate conversion connects kg/s, kg/min, kg/hr, lb/hr, and volumetric units such as LPM when density is known.
LPM to kg/s Questions
What does the LPM to kg/s calculator convert?
It converts liters per minute into kilograms per second for water, fuel, liquids, process flow, pump flow, and mass-balance calculations.
What is the LPM to kg/s formula?
Use kg/s = LPM x density in kg/L / 60. For water at about 1 kg/L, kg/s = LPM / 60.
How many kg/s are in 1 LPM?
For water, 1 LPM equals about 0.016667 kg/s. Other liquids depend on density.
Can I use this for fuel?
Yes, but use the correct fuel density. Diesel, gasoline, kerosene, and oil have different densities.
Is LPM to kg/s a mass flow rate conversion?
Yes. It converts volumetric flow to mass flow using fluid density.
Can I convert kg/s back to LPM?
Yes. Use LPM = kg/s x 60 / density in kg/L.
Which entities matter for liquid mass flow?
Important entities include density, specific gravity, water, diesel, oil, pumps, Coriolis meters, process piping, ISO, and SI units.
