Cubic Meter per Hour to Liter per Second Converter

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.

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.

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 second (L/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in liters passing through a given area per second. It equals 0.001 cubic meters per second, providing a convenient scale for moderate flow measurements.

The L/s unit developed with the widespread adoption of the liter as a practical volume unit. It became particularly useful for water supply systems, plumbing applications, and medium-scale fluid handling where cubic meters would be too large and milliliters too small.

L/s is commonly used in plumbing and water supply systems, irrigation, fire protection systems, and laboratory applications. It's standard for measuring flow rates in residential and commercial water systems, pump specifications, and hydraulic system design.
