Volumetric Flow Rate

m³/hrtoL/hr

Convert cubic metres per hour (m³/hr) to litres per hour (L/hr).

Factor1 m³/hr = 1000 L/hr

Converter

m³/hr

Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7

Result
10000L/hr

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
L/hr = m³/hr × 1000

Multiply any value in cubic metres per hour by 1000 to obtain the value in litres per hour.

Worked example

Convert 10 m³/hr to L/hr.

  1. 01Start with 10 m³/hr.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10 × 1000 = 10000 L/hr.
Result10 m³/hr = 10000 L/hr

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from m³/hr to L/hr?
1 m³/hr equals 1000 L/hr. To convert, multiply the value in cubic metres per hour by 1000.
How do I convert 1 m³/hr to L/hr?
1 m³/hr = 1000 L/hr. For any value, multiply by 1000.
How do I convert L/hr back to m³/hr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.001. So 1 L/hr = 0.001 m³/hr.
When would I need to convert cubic metre per hour 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. m³/hr 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).
