Formula

Formula
m/day = cm/s × 864

Multiply any value in centimetres per second (volumetric flux) by 864 to obtain the value in metres per day (volumetric flux).

Worked example

Convert 1 cm/s to m/day.

  1. 01Start with 1 cm/s.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 864 = 864 m/day.
Result1 cm/s = 864 m/day

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from cm/s to m/day?
1 cm/s equals 864 m/day. To convert, multiply the value in centimetres per second (volumetric flux) by 864.
How do I convert 1 cm/s to m/day?
1 cm/s = 864 m/day. For any value, multiply by 864.
How do I convert m/day back to cm/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.001157407. So 1 m/day = 0.00115741 cm/s.
When would I need to convert centimetre per second (volumetric flux) to metre per day (volumetric flux)?
Volumetric-flux conversions between cm/s and m/day 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).
