Cubic meters per second to Liters per second formula and what each symbol means
L/s = m³/s × 1,000
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| m³/s | Cubic meter per second |
| L/s | Liter per second |
Cubic meters per second to Liters per second examples
1 m³/s
1 m³/s × 1,000 = 1,000 L/s.
10 m³/s
10 m³/s × 1,000 = 10,000 L/s.
100 m³/s
100 m³/s × 1,000 = 100,000 L/s.
Cubic meters per second compared with Liters per second
One m³/s is 1,000 times as large as one L/s, so your number gets bigger when you convert cubic meters per second to liters per second and smaller when you convert back. If the answer is not larger than what you typed, you divided instead of multiplying.
About cubic meters per second and liters per second
Cubic meter per second (m³/s): The SI unit of volumetric flow rate. Liter per second (L/s): One thousandth of a cubic metre per second.
How to calculate Cubic meters per second to Liters per second step by step
- Enter the value in m³/s (the starting unit).
- Multiply by 1,000, because 1 m³/s = 1,000 L/s.
- The product is the value in L/s. To go back, divide by 1,000 or multiply by 0.001.
