m³/stom³/hr

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

Factor1 m³/s = 3600 m³/hr

Converter

m³/s

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

Result
3600m³/hr

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
m³/hr = m³/s × 3600

Multiply any value in cubic metres per second by 3600 to obtain the value in cubic metres per hour.

Worked example

Convert 1 m³/s to m³/hr.

  1. 01Start with 1 m³/s.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 3600 = 3600 m³/hr.
Result1 m³/s = 3600 m³/hr

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from m³/s to m³/hr?
1 m³/s equals 3600 m³/hr. To convert, multiply the value in cubic metres per second by 3600.
How do I convert 1 m³/s to m³/hr?
1 m³/s = 3600 m³/hr. For any value, multiply by 3600.
How do I convert m³/hr back to m³/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.0002777778. So 1 m³/hr = 0.000277778 m³/s.
When would I need to convert cubic metre per second to cubic metre 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 m³/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).
