Litre per second [l/s] to Litre per hour [l/h] Converter
How to Convert Litre per second to Litre per hour
1 l/s = 3600 l/h
1 l/h = 0.0002777777777777778 l/s
Example: convert 10 l/s to l/h:
10 l/s = 10 x 3600 = 36000 l/h
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.
Litre per hour
Definition: Liters per hour (L/h) 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 hour.
History/origin: The liter (L) is a metric unit of volume. Using 'per hour' provides a convenient timescale for processes that involve slower flow rates.
Current use: L/h is used for measuring very slow flow rates, such as in drip irrigation systems, chemical dosing, or water purification processes.
