Decilitre per second [dl/s] to Litre per second [l/s] Converter

Quick Reference

1 Decilitre per second (dl/s) = 0.1 Litre per second (l/s)

1 Litre per second (l/s) = 10 Decilitre per second (dl/s)

How to Convert Decilitre per second to Litre per second

1 dl/s = 0.1 l/s
1 l/s = 10 dl/s

To convert Decilitre per second to Litre per second, divide the value by 10 (equivalently, multiply by 0.1). To convert Litre per second back to Decilitre per second, multiply by 10.

Example: convert 10 dl/s to l/s:
10 dl/s = 10 x 0.1 = 1 l/s

↔ Convert Litre per second to Decilitre per second

Decilitre per second

Definition: Deciliters per second (dL/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 deciliters per second.

History/origin: The deciliter (dL) is a derived unit of volume equal to one tenth of a liter (1 dL = 0.1 L). The 'per second' component signifies a flow rate.

Current use: dL/s is not as common as L/s or mL/s. It might be used in some specific industrial applications or in academic settings for experiments involving medium-sized fluid volumes per second.

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.

Decilitre per second [dl/s] to Litre per second [l/s] Converter

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