Formula

Formula
m³/s = m³/day × 1.157407e-5

Multiply any value in cubic metres per day by 1.157407e-5 to obtain the value in cubic metres per second.

Worked example

Convert 86400 m³/day to m³/s.

  1. 01Start with 86400 m³/day.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 86400 × 1.157407e-5 = 1 m³/s.
Result86400 m³/day = 1 m³/s

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from m³/day to m³/s?
1 m³/day equals 1.157407e-5 m³/s. To convert, multiply the value in cubic metres per day by 1.157407e-5.
How do I convert 1 m³/day to m³/s?
1 m³/day = 1.15741e-5 m³/s. For any value, multiply by 1.157407e-5.
How do I convert m³/s back to m³/day?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 86400. So 1 m³/s = 86400 m³/day.
When would I need to convert cubic metre per day to cubic metre 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 m³/s 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).
