Liter per Hour (L/h)
Liters per hour (L/h) measures slow flow rates: drip irrigation (2-8 L/h per emitter), IV drips (50-250 mL/h typical), fuel consumption, and chemical dosing. Car fuel consumption at highway speed: 6-10 L/h. Coffee machine: 0.5-2 L/h.
Liter per Second (L/s)
Liters per second (L/s) is common for water pumps, fire hoses (15-30 L/s), and plumbing flow rates. One L/s equals 15.85 US GPM or 60 L/min. Fire hydrant minimum flow: 32 L/s. Swimming pool circulation: 5-15 L/s depending on size.
