1. What is M3/H to L/S Conversion?

The M3/H to L/S conversion is used to convert flow rates from cubic meters per hour to liters per second. This is commonly needed in engineering, hydraulics, and fluid dynamics calculations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following conversion formula:

\[ L/S = \frac{M3/H \times 1000}{3600} \]

Where:

\( M3/H \) — Flow rate in cubic meters per hour
\( L/S \) — Flow rate in liters per second
1000 — Conversion factor (1000 liters in 1 cubic meter)
3600 — Conversion factor (3600 seconds in 1 hour)

Explanation: The formula converts volume units (m³ to L) and time units (hours to seconds) simultaneously.

3. Importance of Flow Rate Conversion

Details: Accurate flow rate conversion is essential for system design, pump sizing, pipe diameter selection, and process control in various engineering applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Simply enter the flow rate in cubic meters per hour (m³/h) and the calculator will automatically compute the equivalent flow rate in liters per second (L/s).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why convert between these units?
A: Different industries and applications use different standard units, and conversion is often needed for compatibility.

Q2: What is the relationship between m³/h and L/s?
A: 1 m³/h equals approximately 0.2778 L/s.

Q3: When would I need this conversion?
A: Common in water treatment, HVAC systems, chemical processing, and any fluid transport system design.

Q4: How precise is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically exact, though practical measurements may have some error.

Q5: Can I convert back from L/s to m³/h?
A: Yes, multiply L/s by 3.6 to get m³/h (since 1 L/s = 3.6 m³/h).
