cubic meter per hour to cubic meter per second
Convert cubic meter per hour (m³/h) to cubic meter per second (m³/s). Use an editable volume flow rate converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 m³/h = 0.0002777777778 m³/s
Conversion formula
One cubic meter per hour equals 0.0002777777778 cubic meter per second. Multiply your value in cubic meter per hour by this factor to get cubic meter per second. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 cubic meter per hour:5 × 0.0002777777778 = 0.001388888889 m³/s

About these measurements
Volume flow rate measures fluid volume passing a point per unit time.
The base reference used here is the cubic meter per second. One cubic meter per hour is 0.0002777777778 base units; one cubic meter per second is 1 base units.
Important distinctions
Compound units must match the quantity and dimension. Temperature intervals use size factors rather than temperature offsets. Calorie and BTU entries use the explicit definitions shown.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert m³/h to m³/s?
Multiply the quantity in m³/h by 0.0002777777778. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the cubic meter per second to cubic meter per hour converter.
