liter/hour [L/h] Unit Converter

Definition of liter/hour [L/h] unit

A liter per hour (L/h) is a volumetric flow-rate unit expressing the amount of fluid, measured in liters, transferred or passing through a point during one hour. It equals 0.001 cubic meters per hour.

History of liter/hour [L/h] unit

The liter originated from the French metric system, introduced during the Revolution in the 1790s and defined initially from the cubic decimeter. As science and engineering adopted metric measurement, liters became common for liquid volume. Flow rates were then expressed by combining volume units with time units, producing liter per hour for relatively slow processes. International standardization later linked the liter to the cubic meter: one liter equals one-thousandth of a cubic meter. Today, L/h remains a practical derived unit, although the SI unit is cubic meter per second.

Applications of liter/hour [L/h] unit

Liter per hour is used to describe low-volume flow in medical infusion pumps, laboratory dosing systems, fuel and chemical metering, irrigation, filtration, and leak testing. For example, an infusion device may deliver several liters per hour, while industrial instruments use L/h to monitor additives, lubricants, or wastewater. The unit is also common in technical specifications and flow-converter tools.
