Convert mL/(s·cm²) to cm³/(s·cm²)

Formula

cm³/(s·cm²) = mL/(s·cm²) × 1

Derivation from SI units:

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

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

Worked examples

1. A reading of 5 mL/(s·cm²) converts to 5 cm³/(s·cm²).
   5 mL/(s·cm²) × 1 = 5 cm³/(s·cm²)
2. A value of 25 mL/(s·cm²) is 25 cm³/(s·cm²).
   25 mL/(s·cm²) × 1 = 25 cm³/(s·cm²)

Where it's used

Milliliters per Second per Square Centimeter are used for air permeability of papers and membranes, 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.
