How to Convert cfs to Liters per Hour
To convert cfs to liters per hour, multiply the flow rate by the following conversion ratio: 101,940.6477312 liters per hour/cubic feet per second.
Since one cubic feet per second is equal to 101,940.6477312 liters per hour, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The flow rate in liters per hour is equal to the flow rate in cfs multiplied by 101,940.6477312.
For example, here's how to convert 5 cfs to liters per hour using the formula above.
How Many Liters per Hour Are in a Cubic Feet per Second?
There are 101,940.6477312 liters per hour in a cubic feet per second, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our cubic feet per second to liters per hour calculator automatically converts your flow rate measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
cfs and liters per hour are both units used to measure flow rate. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Cubic Feet per Second?
A cubic feet per second is a unit of flow rate equal to 1,699.0107955 liters per minute (L/min), the base unit for flow rate. River hydrology flow unit equal to 28.3168 L/s. [1]
The cubic feet per second is classified as a US customary unit of flow rate. cfs can be abbreviated as ft³/s; for example, 1 cubic feet per second can be written as 1 ft³/s.
When working with cfs (ft³/s) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, cfs (ft³/s) are widely used across large-scale industrial, bulk, and macro-level flow rate specifications within US customary workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is a Liters per Hour?
A liters per hour is a unit of flow rate equal to 1/60 of a liters per minute (0.0166667 L/min). Equal to 1/60 L/min. [2]
The liters per hour is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of flow rate. Liters per Hour can be abbreviated as L/h; for example, 1 liters per hour can be written as 1 L/h.
When working with liters per hour (L/h) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, liters per hour (L/h) are widely used across standard flow rate applications within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting flow rate between cfs (ft³/s) and liters per hour (L/h), keep full floating-point precision (1 ft³/s = 101,940.6477312 L/h; 1 L/h = 0.00000981 ft³/s) during intermediate calculations and round only the final liters per hour figure to match your instrument tolerance.
