Volumetric Flux

cm/stoL/(min·m²)

Convert centimetres per second (volumetric flux) (cm/s) to litres per minute per square metre (volumetric flux) (L/(min·m²)).

Factor1 cm/s = 600 L/(min·m²)

Converter

cm/s

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

Result
600L/(min·m²)

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
L/(min·m²) = cm/s × 600

Multiply any value in centimetres per second (volumetric flux) by 600 to obtain the value in litres per minute per square metre (volumetric flux).

Worked example

Convert 1 cm/s to L/(min·m²).

  1. 01Start with 1 cm/s.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 600 = 600 L/(min·m²).
Result1 cm/s = 600 L/(min·m²)

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from cm/s to L/(min·m²)?
1 cm/s equals 600 L/(min·m²). To convert, multiply the value in centimetres per second (volumetric flux) by 600.
How do I convert 1 cm/s to L/(min·m²)?
1 cm/s = 600 L/(min·m²). For any value, multiply by 600.
How do I convert L/(min·m²) back to cm/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.001666667. So 1 L/(min·m²) = 0.00166667 cm/s.
When would I need to convert centimetre per second (volumetric flux) to litre per minute per square metre (volumetric flux)?
Volumetric-flux conversions between cm/s and L/(min·m²) are routine in membrane filtration (RO, UF, MF, NF permeate flux), hydraulic loading specification, water-treatment design, hydrometallurgy and packed-bed column loading, and environmental engineering. LMH (L/m²/h) and gfd (gal/ft²/day) dominate membrane datasheets; m³/m²/h and m³/m²/day cover SI engineering ladders; m/day and cm/s appear as superficial velocity in hydromet and packed-bed work. Volumetric flux is the same physical quantity as superficial velocity (m³/m²/s ≡ m/s) but is kept distinct from the velocity and flow categories because the engineering intent is volumetric throughput per unit area, not bulk motion or total throughput.
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).
