Cubic Centimeter per second [cm3/s] to Litre per second [l/s] Converter

Quick Reference

1 Cubic Centimeter per second (cm3/s) = 0.001 Litre per second (l/s)

1 Litre per second (l/s) = 1000 Cubic Centimeter per second (cm3/s)

How to Convert Cubic Centimeter per second to Litre per second

1 cm3/s = 0.001 l/s
1 l/s = 1000 cm3/s

To convert Cubic Centimeter per second to Litre per second, divide the value by 1000 (equivalently, multiply by 0.001). To convert Litre per second back to Cubic Centimeter per second, multiply by 1000.

Example: convert 10 cm3/s to l/s:
10 cm3/s = 10 x 0.001 = 0.01 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.

Cubic Centimeter per second [cm3/s] to Litre per second [l/s] Converter

What is 1 cm3/s in l/s?
1 Cubic Centimeter per second (cm3/s) equals 0.001 l/s, and 1 l/s equals 1,000 cm3/s.
How do I convert Cubic Centimeter per second to Litre per second?
Divide by 1,000: 10 cm3/s ÷ 1,000 = 0.01 l/s. The converter above does it for any value, with the precision you choose.
What is 100 cm3/s in l/s?
100 cm3/s = 0.1 l/s. Common amounts are listed on this page, each with its own step-by-step page.
Is a Cubic Centimeter per second bigger than a Litre per second?
No. 1 cm3/s is only 0.001 l/s: it takes 1,000 cm3/s to make 1 l/s.
