How to convert liter per second to cubic meter per second

Enter your flow rate in liter per second and get the equivalent in cubic meter per second instantly. Key reference points: a typical shower head flows at about 9.5 liters per minute (2.5 GPM), a garden hose at about 37.8 L/min (10 GPM), and residential water supply pipes deliver 7-12 GPM.

Liters per second (l/s, lps) is practical for fire protection system ratings and water treatment; cubic meters per second (m3/s) is the SI standard needed for computational fluid dynamics and research papers. To convert l/s to m3/s, divide by 1000 - the same factor as liters per cubic meter.

Frequently asked questions

1 liter per second equals 0.001 cubic meter per second.

Multiply by 0.001. For example, 5 L/s = 0.005 m³/s.

Divide l/s by 1000 to get m3/s. For example, 500 l/s ÷ 1000 = 0.5 m3/s and 10 l/s = 0.01 m3/s. The reverse (m3/s to l/s) is multiply by 1000.

1 cubic meter per second equals 1000 liter per second.

100 liter per second equals 0.1 cubic meter per second.
