L/s to Cubic Meter/Second Calculator

What is L/s to Cubic Meter/Second Conversion

This converter calculates the equivalence between flow rates in liters per second (L/s) and cubic meters per second (m³/s). The relationship is simple: 1 m³/s = 1000 L/s. This is because 1 cubic meter equals 1000 liters, and the time unit (seconds) remains the same.

For example, a flow rate of 500 L/s is equal to 0.5 m³/s, and a flow rate of 2 m³/s is equal to 2000 L/s.

How to Convert L/s to Cubic Meter/Second

Formulas:

From L/s to m³/s: \( \text{m}^3/\text{s} = \frac{\text{L/s}}{1000} \)

From m³/s to L/s: \( \text{L/s} = \text{m}^3/\text{s} \times 1000 \)

Example Calculation:

  • If input is 500 L/s:
  • \( \text{m}^3/\text{s} = \frac{500}{1000} = 0.5 \, \text{m}^3/\text{s} \)
  • If input is 2 m³/s:
  • \( \text{L/s} = 2 \times 1000 = 2000 \, \text{L/s} \)

Use the form above to input a flow rate and select the unit (L/s or m³/s) to convert it to the other unit.

Conversion Table

The following table provides examples of conversions between L/s and m³/s:

L/s m³/s
1000.1
5000.5
10001
20002

Flow Rate Units

The calculator supports the following units:

  • Cubic Meters per Second (m³/s): A standard SI unit for volumetric flow rate.
  • Liters per Second (L/s): A common unit in HVAC and fluid dynamics, where 1 m³/s = 1000 L/s.

Results are provided in both units after conversion.

FAQs

How do you convert L/s to m³/s?

To convert L/s to m³/s, divide the value in L/s by 1000. For example, 500 L/s ÷ 1000 = 0.5 m³/s.

How do you convert m³/s to L/s?

To convert m³/s to L/s, multiply the value in m³/s by 1000. For example, 2 m³/s × 1000 = 2000 L/s.

What is the flow rate of 750 L/s in m³/s?

For 750 L/s: \( \text{m}^3/\text{s} = \frac{750}{1000} = 0.75 \, \text{m}^3/\text{s} \).
