Overview
LPM to Mass Flow Rate
LPM to mass flow rate converts liters per minute into mass flow rate by applying fluid density. Entities include volumetric flow, mass flow rate, density, specific gravity, water, fuel, oil, gases, Coriolis meters, pumps, process piping, SI units, kg/s, kg/min, and lb/hr.
Calculator
Mass Flow Rate Calculator LPM
The mass flow rate calculator LPM above requests an LPM input and returns a density-based mass flow estimate. It uses water-density behavior by default, while engineering-critical calculations should use actual density at operating temperature and pressure.
Convert
Convert LPM to Mass Flow Rate
To convert LPM to mass flow rate, multiply liters per minute by density. Water is close to 1 kg/L, so 25 LPM of water is approximately 25 kg/min. Fuel, oil, glycol, chemicals, and gases require their own density values.
Method
How to Convert LPM to Mass Flow
Enter the volumetric flow in LPM.
Find fluid density or specific gravity.
Multiply volume flow by density.
Convert the result into kg/s, kg/min, or lb/hr.
Calculation
How to Calculate Mass Flow Rate from LPM
mass flow rate = volumetric flow x density
With LPM and density in kg/L: kg/min = LPM x density.
Example: 40 LPM of a liquid with density 0.85 kg/L gives 34 kg/min. Divide by 60 for kg/s, or multiply kg/min by 60 and 2.20462 for lb/hr.
Formula
Mass Flow Rate Formula
kg/min = LPM x density kg/L
Water estimate: kg/min = LPM.
Equation
Mass Flow Rate Equation
ṁ = Q x rho
ṁ is mass flow rate, Q is volumetric flow rate, and rho is density.
kg/s
LPM to kg/s
kg/s = LPM x density kg/L / 60
For water, 1 LPM is approximately 0.016667 kg/s.
kg/min
LPM to kg/min
kg/min = LPM x density kg/L
For water, 1 LPM is approximately 1 kg/min.
lb/hr
LPM to lb/hr
lb/hr = LPM x density kg/L x 60 x 2.20462
For water, 1 LPM is about 132.277 lb/hr.
Flow Type
Volumetric Flow to Mass Flow
Volumetric flow to mass flow connects units such as LPM, GPM, CFM, and m3/h with mass units such as kg/s, kg/min, kg/hr, and lb/hr. Density is the required bridge between volume and mass.
Liquids
Mass Flow Rate for Liquids
Mass flow rate for liquids is used for water, diesel, gasoline, oil, glycol, solvents, acids, caustic, and process chemicals. Use density or specific gravity at actual operating conditions for better accuracy.
Gases
Mass Flow Rate for Gases
Mass flow rate for gases depends on gas density, pressure, temperature, molecular weight, and whether the flow is actual or standard. Air, nitrogen, oxygen, natural gas, and compressed air should use the correct reference conditions.
