How to Convert Cubic Centimeter per second to Litre per secondLitre per second
1 cm3/s = 0.001 l/s
1 l/s = 1000 cm3/s
Example: convert 14 cm3/s to l/s:
14 cm3/s = 14 x 0.001 = 0.014 l/s
Cubic Centimeter per second
Definition: Cubic centimeters per second (cm³/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate. It represents the volume of a substance passing through a given point per unit of time. Specifically, it measures the volume in cubic centimeters that flows past a point in one second.
History/origin: Like mm³/s, it's derived from SI units. The cubic centimeter is a derived unit of volume (1 cm³ = 1 mL), and the 'per second' component indicates flow rate.
Current use: cm³/s is a commonly used unit for measuring small to medium flow rates in various scientific, engineering, and medical applications. It's often used interchangeably with milliliters per second (mL/s) since 1 cm³ = 1 mL.
Litre per second
Definition: Liters per second (L/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate. It represents the volume of a substance passing through a given point per unit of time, measured in liters per second.
History/origin: The liter (L) is a metric unit of volume. Its use dates back to the French Revolution. The 'per second' component makes it a measure of flow rate.
Current use: L/s is a frequently used unit for measuring fluid flow rates in various applications, including water supply systems, industrial processes, and environmental monitoring.
