Cubic Centimeter per second [cm3/s] to Cubic meter per second [m3/s] Converter

Quick Reference

1 Cubic Centimeter per second (cm3/s) = 1.0000e-6 Cubic meter per second (m3/s)

1 Cubic meter per second (m3/s) = 1000000 Cubic Centimeter per second (cm3/s)

How to Convert Cubic Centimeter per second to Cubic meter per second

1 cm3/s = 1.0000e-6 m3/s
1 m3/s = 1000000 cm3/s

To convert Cubic Centimeter per second to Cubic meter per second, divide the value by 1000000 (equivalently, multiply by 1.0000e-6). To convert Cubic meter per second back to Cubic Centimeter per second, multiply by 1000000.

Example: convert 10 cm3/s to m3/s:
10 cm3/s = 10 x 1.0000e-6 = 1.0000e-5 m3/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.

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.
