Convert Decimeters per Second to cm³/(s·cm²)

Formula

cm³/(s·cm²) = dm/s × 10

Derivation from SI units:

• 1 dm/s = 0.1 m ÷ 1 s
• 1 cm³/(s·cm²) = 10⁻⁶ m³ ÷ (10⁻⁴ m² × 1 s) = 0.01 m/s = 1 cm/s
• 1 dm/s = 0.1 m/s ÷ 0.01 m/s per cm³/(s·cm²) = 10 cm³/(s·cm²)

Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Decimeter per Second definition: decimeter per second; Cubic Centimeter per Second per Square Centimeter definition: cubic centimeter per second per square centimeter.

Worked examples

1. A reading of 2 dm/s converts to 20 cm³/(s·cm²).
   2 dm/s × 10 = 20 cm³/(s·cm²)
2. A value of 20 dm/s is 200 cm³/(s·cm²).
   20 dm/s × 10 = 200 cm³/(s·cm²)

Where it's used

Decimeters per Second are used for occasional instrument read-outs, while cubic centimeters per second per square centimeter appear in ASTM D737 fabric air permeability (SI reporting). Both measure face velocity and air permeability (volumetric flow per unit area), so the conversion is a fixed factor.
