How to Convert m³/s to Liters per Hour
To convert m³/s to liters per hour, multiply the flow rate by the following conversion ratio: 3,600,000 liters per hour/cubic meters per second.
Since one cubic meters per second is equal to 3,600,000 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 m³/s multiplied by 3,600,000.
For example, here's how to convert 5 m³/s to liters per hour using the formula above.
How Many Liters per Hour Are in a Cubic Meters per Second?
There are 3,600,000 liters per hour in a cubic meters per second, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our cubic meters 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.
m³/s and liters per hour are both units used to measure flow rate. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Cubic Meters per Second?
A cubic meters per second is a unit of flow rate equal to 60,000 liters per minute (L/min), the base unit for flow rate. Coherent SI flow unit equal to 1,000 L/s (60,000 L/min). [1]
The cubic meters per second is classified as an International System of Units (SI) unit of flow rate. m³/s can be abbreviated as m³/s; for example, 1 cubic meters per second can be written as 1 m³/s.
When working with m³/s (m³/s) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, m³/s (m³/s) are widely used across large-scale industrial, bulk, and macro-level flow rate specifications within International System of Units (SI) 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 m³/s (m³/s) and liters per hour (L/h), keep full floating-point precision (1 m³/s = 3,600,000 L/h; 1 L/h = 0.000000278 m³/s) during intermediate calculations and round only the final liters per hour figure to match your instrument tolerance.
