This calculator determines the flow rate equivalence between liters per second (L/s) and cubic decimeters per day (dm³/day). The relationship is: 1 dm³/day = 1.1574074074074E-5 L/s. A cubic decimeter (dm³) equals 1 liter, and this volume delivered over a day (86,400 seconds) results in a very small flow rate in L/s.
For example, a flow rate of 1 L/s equals 86,400 dm³/day, and a flow rate of 1 dm³/day equals approximately 0.00001157 L/s.
Formulas:
L/s to dm³/day: \( \text{dm}^3/\text{day} = \frac{\text{L/s}}{1.1574074074074 \times 10^{-5}} \)
dm³/day to L/s: \( \text{L/s} = \text{dm}^3/\text{day} \times 1.1574074074074 \times 10^{-5} \)
Example Calculation:
Use the form above to input a flow rate and select the unit (L/s or dm³/day) to calculate the equivalent value in the other unit.
The following table provides examples of calculated values between L/s and dm³/day:
| L/s | dm³/day |
|---|---|
| 0.00001157 | 1 |
| 1 | 86400 |
| 0.5 | 43200 |
| 0.1 | 8640 |
The calculator uses the following units:
Results are provided in both units after calculation.
How do you calculate L/s from cubic decimeters/day?
To calculate L/s from dm³/day, multiply the value in dm³/day by 1.1574074074074E-5. For example, 100,000 dm³/day × 1.1574074074074E-5 ≈ 1.1574 L/s.
How do you calculate cubic decimeters/day from L/s?
To calculate dm³/day from L/s, divide the value in L/s by 1.1574074074074E-5. For example, 0.5 L/s ÷ 1.1574074074074E-5 = 43,200 dm³/day.
What is the flow rate of 0.2 L/s in cubic decimeters/day?
For 0.2 L/s: \( \text{dm}^3/\text{day} = \frac{0.2}{1.1574074074074 \times 10^{-5}} \approx 17280 \, \text{dm}^3/\text{day} \).
