Volume Flow Rate Converter

Volume Flow Rate Converter lets you convert volume flow rate through the cubic metre per second: value × source factor / target factor. Enter your own values or load the worked example.

Method and calculation

Convert volume flow rate through the cubic metre per second: value × source factor / target factor. Factors relative to cubic metre per second: m³/s = 1; m³/h = 0.0002777777777777778; L/s = 0.001; L/min = 0.000016666666666666667; US gal/min = 0.0000630901964; ft³/min = 0.0004719474432.

Inputs and settings

Volume Flow Rate Converter accepts Value (minimum 0); From unit (m³/s, m³/h, L/s, L/min, US gal/min, ft³/min); To unit (m³/s, m³/h, L/s, L/min, US gal/min, ft³/min).

Worked example

Volume Flow Rate Converter example — Value: 1; From unit: "m³/s"; To unit: "m³/h". Computed output: { "value": 3600, "unit": "m³/h", "baseValue": 1, "baseUnit": "cubic metre per second" }

Output and limitations

Volumetric flow specifies how much space a fluid occupies while passing a point each second or minute. US gallons are liquid gallons. Gas readings quoted at standard conditions require temperature and pressure information before comparison with actual volumetric flow.

Volume Flow Rate Converter FAQs

Volume Flow Rate Converter applies the following rule to your input: Convert volume flow rate through the cubic metre per second: value × source factor / target factor. The worked example on this page uses the same processor as the result button.
Volume Flow Rate Converter has these boundaries: The volume flow rate factors are fixed conversions. Unit labels specify the convention; no live data is fetched. Start by checking the value field against the units or format shown.
Volume Flow Rate Converter provides this sample: { "value": 3600, "unit": "m³/h", "baseValue": 1, "baseUnit": "cubic metre per second" }. Use the sample button to reproduce it, then replace the inputs with your own values.
