Unit Description
Cubic Meter per Hour (m³/h)
Definition
Cubic meter per hour (m³/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid passing through a given area in one hour. It provides a convenient scale for continuous process measurements and system capacity ratings.
History
The m³/h unit became important with the development of continuous industrial processes and utility systems where hourly flow measurements were more practical than per-second or per-minute rates. It was particularly useful for water supply, gas distribution, and chemical processing.
Current Use
M³/h is extensively used in water supply systems, gas distribution networks, chemical processing, and building services. It's standard for water meter readings, gas flow measurements, pump capacity ratings, and continuous process flow monitoring in industrial applications.
Liter per Hour (L/h)
Definition
Liter per hour (L/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in liters passing through a given area per hour. It's commonly used for slow, continuous processes and precision flow measurements.
History
The L/h unit became important in applications requiring precise, slow flow measurements such as medical infusions, chemical dosing, and precision manufacturing processes. It provided appropriate numerical values for applications where faster flow units would result in small decimal numbers.
Current Use
L/h is used in medical infusion systems, chemical dosing equipment, precision manufacturing, and slow continuous processes. It's standard for IV pump settings, chemical feed systems, precision dispensing equipment, and laboratory analytical instruments.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Cubic Meter per Hour to Liter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 m³/h = 1,000 L/h
- Conversion Formula: L/h = m³/h × 1,000
- Calculation: 1 m³/h × 1,000 = 1,000 L/h
Convert 10 Cubic Meter per Hour to Liter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 m³/h = 1,000 L/h
- Conversion Formula: L/h = m³/h × 1,000
- Calculation: 10 m³/h × 1,000 = 10,000 L/h
Convert 100 Cubic Meter per Hour to Liter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 m³/h = 1,000 L/h
- Conversion Formula: L/h = m³/h × 1,000
- Calculation: 100 m³/h × 1,000 = 100,000 L/h
Convert 1,000 Cubic Meter per Hour to Liter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 m³/h = 1,000 L/h
- Conversion Formula: L/h = m³/h × 1,000
- Calculation: 1,000 m³/h × 1,000 = 1e+6 L/h
