Volumetric Flow Rate

m³/stoL/hr

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

Factor1 m³/s = 3600000 L/hr

Converter

m³/s

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

Result
3.60000e+6L/hr

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
L/hr = m³/s × 3600000

Multiply any value in cubic metres per second by 3600000 to obtain the value in litres per hour.

Worked example

Convert 1 m³/s to L/hr.

  1. 01Start with 1 m³/s.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 3600000 = 3.60000e+6 L/hr.
Result1 m³/s = 3.60000e+6 L/hr

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from m³/s to L/hr?
1 m³/s equals 3600000 L/hr. To convert, multiply the value in cubic metres per second by 3600000.
How do I convert 1 m³/s to L/hr?
1 m³/s = 3.60000e+6 L/hr. For any value, multiply by 3600000.
How do I convert L/hr back to m³/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 2.777778e-7. So 1 L/hr = 2.77778e-7 m³/s.
When would I need to convert cubic metre 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. m³/s 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).
