How to Convert Cubic meter per second to Cubic meter per minuteCubic meter per minute
1 m3/s = 59.99999999999999 m3/min
1 m3/min = 0.016666666666666666 m3/s
Example: convert 13 m3/s to m3/min:
13 m3/s = 13 x 59.99999999999999 = 779.9999999999999 m3/min
Cubic meter per second
Definition: A cubic meter per second (m3/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing one cubic meter of substance passing a point in one second. It is used to measure very large volumes of fluid or gas flow.
History/origin: The cubic meter is a metric unit derived from the meter, a fundamental unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). 'Per second' indicates the rate of flow. Its origins lie in the development of standardized metric units for scientific and engineering applications.
Current use: M3/s is commonly used in hydrology (river flow measurement), large-scale industrial processes, and in the operation of hydroelectric power plants where the movement of large volumes of water is critical.
Cubic meter per minute
Definition: A cubic meter per minute (m3/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate indicating one cubic meter of substance passing a point in one minute. It measures medium to large volumes of fluid or gas flow.
History/origin: Derived from the cubic meter, the SI unit for volume. 'Per minute' specifies the rate of flow. This unit became important with the increasing need for accurate measurement and control of fluids and gasses in industrial and engineering applications.
Current use: M3/min is employed in ventilation systems, industrial processes involving moderate fluid or gas flow, and in measuring the output of pumps and compressors. It is also used to quantify the flow of air in HVAC systems and the flow of fluids in manufacturing processes.
