Formula
Formula
m³/m²/h = m/day × 0.04166667
Multiply any value in metres per day (volumetric flux) by 0.04166667 to obtain the value in cubic metres per square metre per hour.
Worked example
Convert 24 m/day to m³/m²/h.
- 01Start with 24 m/day.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 24 × 0.04166667 = 1 m³/m²/h.
Result24 m/day = 1 m³/m²/h

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from m/day to m³/m²/h?
1 m/day equals 0.04166667 m³/m²/h. To convert, multiply the value in metres per day (volumetric flux) by 0.04166667.
How do I convert 1 m/day to m³/m²/h?
1 m/day = 0.0416667 m³/m²/h. For any value, multiply by 0.04166667.
How do I convert m³/m²/h back to m/day?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 24. So 1 m³/m²/h = 24 m/day.
When would I need to convert metre per day (volumetric flux) to cubic metre per square metre per hour?
Volumetric-flux conversions between m/day and m³/m²/h 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).
