liter per hour to cubic meter per hour
Convert liter per hour (L/h) to cubic meter per hour (m³/h). Use an editable volume flow rate converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 L/h = 0.001 m³/h
Conversion formula
One liter per hour equals 0.001 cubic meter per hour. Multiply your value in liter per hour by this factor to get cubic meter per hour. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 liter per hour:5 × 0.001 = 0.005 m³/h

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 liter per hour is 2.77777778e-7 base units; one cubic meter per hour is 0.0002777777778 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 L/h to m³/h?
Multiply the quantity in L/h by 0.001. 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 hour to liter per hour converter.
