liter per hour to cubic meter per second
Convert liter per hour (L/h) to cubic meter per second (m³/s). Use an editable volume flow rate converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 L/h = 2.77777778e-7 m³/s
Conversion formula
One liter per hour equals 2.77777778e-7 cubic meter per second. Multiply your value in liter 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 liter per hour:5 × 2.77777778e-7 = 0.000001388888889 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 liter per hour is 2.77777778e-7 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 L/h to m³/s?
Multiply the quantity in L/h by 2.77777778e-7. 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 liter per hour converter.
