Convert cm³/(s·cm²) to Meters per Second
1 cubic centimeter per second per square centimeter (cm³/(s·cm²)) equals 0.01 meters per second (m/s).
1 cm³/(s·cm²) = 0.01 m/s
Type in either box. Scientific notation works: 1.5e-3.

How to Convert Cubic Centimeter per Second per Square Centimeter to Meter per Second
- 1 cm³/(s·cm²) = 0.01 m/s
- 1 m/s = 100 cm³/(s·cm²)
- Example: convert 15 cm³/(s·cm²) to m/s: 15 cm³/(s·cm²) = 15 × 0.01 m/s = 0.15 m/s
Formula
m/s = cm³/(s·cm²) ÷ 100
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 cm³/(s·cm²) = 10⁻⁶ m³ ÷ (10⁻⁴ m² × 1 s) = 0.01 m/s = 1 cm/s
- 1 m/s = 1 m ÷ 1 s (equivalently 1 m³/s of flow per 1 m² of area)
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Cubic Centimeter per Second per Square Centimeter definition: cubic centimeter per second per square centimeter; Meter per Second definition: meter per second.
Worked examples
- A reading of 5 cm³/(s·cm²) converts to 0.05 m/s.
5 cm³/(s·cm²) × 0.01 = 0.05 m/s - A value of 25 cm³/(s·cm²) is 0.25 m/s.
25 cm³/(s·cm²) × 0.01 = 0.25 m/s

Where it's used
Cubic Centimeters per Second per Square Centimeter are used for ASTM D737 fabric air permeability (SI reporting), while meters per second appear in filter face velocity (ISO 16890 full-size filters ≈ 2.7 m/s). Both measure face velocity and air permeability (volumetric flow per unit area), so the conversion is a fixed factor.

Frequently asked questions
How many meters per second are in 1 cubic centimeter per second per square centimeter?
1 cm³/(s·cm²) = 0.01 m/s.
How do I convert cubic centimeters per second per square centimeter to meters per second?
Multiply the value in cm³/(s·cm²) by 0.01, or divide it by 100. For example, 15 cm³/(s·cm²) × 0.01 = 0.15 m/s.
Is the cm³/(s·cm²) to m/s conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly, and 1 cm³/(s·cm²) is exactly 0.01 m/s.
