Formula

Formula
L/hr = cfs × 101940.6

Multiply any value in cubic feet per second by 101940.6 to obtain the value in litres per hour.

Worked example

Convert 1 cfs to L/hr.

  1. 01Start with 1 cfs.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 101940.6 = 101941 L/hr.
Result1 cfs = 101941 L/hr

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from cfs to L/hr?
1 cfs equals 101940.6 L/hr. To convert, multiply the value in cubic feet per second by 101940.6.
How do I convert 1 cfs to L/hr?
1 cfs = 101941 L/hr. For any value, multiply by 101940.6.
How do I convert L/hr back to cfs?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 9.80963e-6. So 1 L/hr = 9.80963e-6 cfs.
When would I need to convert cubic foot per second to litre per hour?
Flow-rate conversions show up in pump curve interpretation, control valve sizing (Cv vs Kv), and aligning vendor specifications with process simulation outputs. cfs to L/hr is a frequently needed conversion for flow datasheet preparation.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
