Unit Description
Cubic Meter per Second (m³/s)
Definition
Cubic meter per second (m³/s) is the SI unit of volumetric flow rate, representing the volume of fluid passing through a given cross-sectional area per unit time. One cubic meter per second equals 1,000 liters per second.
History
The m³/s unit was established with the International System of Units (SI) as the standard scientific unit for volumetric flow rate. It became essential for hydraulic engineering, fluid mechanics, and large-scale flow measurements in rivers, pipelines, and industrial systems.
Current Use
M³/s is used in hydraulic engineering, river flow measurements, large pipeline systems, and scientific research. It's standard for measuring discharge rates of rivers, flow capacity of large pumps, and in fluid mechanics calculations for major water treatment and distribution systems.
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.

Convert 1 Cubic Meter per Second to Cubic Meter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 m³/s = 3,600 m³/h
- Conversion Formula: m³/h = m³/s × 3,600
- Calculation: 1 m³/s × 3,600 = 3,600 m³/h
Convert 10 Cubic Meter per Second to Cubic Meter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 m³/s = 3,600 m³/h
- Conversion Formula: m³/h = m³/s × 3,600
- Calculation: 10 m³/s × 3,600 = 36,000 m³/h
Convert 100 Cubic Meter per Second to Cubic Meter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 m³/s = 3,600 m³/h
- Conversion Formula: m³/h = m³/s × 3,600
- Calculation: 100 m³/s × 3,600 = 360,000 m³/h
Convert 1,000 Cubic Meter per Second to Cubic Meter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 m³/s = 3,600 m³/h
- Conversion Formula: m³/h = m³/s × 3,600
- Calculation: 1,000 m³/s × 3,600 = 3.6e+6 m³/h
