Formula
Formula
L/s = m³/day × 0.01157407
Multiply any value in cubic metres per day by 0.01157407 to obtain the value in litres per second.
Worked example
Convert 86.4 m³/day to L/s.
- 01Start with 86.4 m³/day.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 86.4 × 0.01157407 = 1 L/s.
Result86.4 m³/day = 1 L/s

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from m³/day to L/s?
1 m³/day equals 0.01157407 L/s. To convert, multiply the value in cubic metres per day by 0.01157407.
How do I convert 1 m³/day to L/s?
1 m³/day = 0.0115741 L/s. For any value, multiply by 0.01157407.
How do I convert L/s back to m³/day?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 86.4. So 1 L/s = 86.4 m³/day.
When would I need to convert cubic metre per day to litre per second?
Flow-rate conversions show up in pump curve interpretation, control valve sizing (Cv vs Kv), and aligning vendor specifications with process simulation outputs. m³/day to L/s is a frequently needed conversion for hydraulic sizing.
Is the conversion exact?
Yes. Both m³/day and L/s are defined by exact SI relationships, so the displayed factor is exact (any rounding shown is only for display).
