Convert Cubic Centimeters per Minute to m³/h

Formula

m³/h = cm³/min × 0.00006

or m³/h = cm³/min ÷ 16666.66666667

Derivation from SI units:

• 1 cm³/min = 10⁻⁶ m³ ÷ 60 s
• 1 m³/h = 1 m³ ÷ 3600 s
• 1 cm³/min = 1.666666666667 × 10⁻⁸ m³/s ÷ 0.0002777777777778 m³/s per m³/h = 0.00006 m³/h

Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Cubic Centimeter per Minute definition: cubic centimeter per minute; Cubic Meter per Hour definition: cubic meter per hour.

Worked examples

1. A reading of 5 cm³/min converts to 0.0003 m³/h.
   5 cm³/min × 0.00006 = 0.0003 m³/h
2. A value of 200 cm³/min is 0.012 m³/h.
   200 cm³/min × 0.00006 = 0.012 m³/h

Where it's used

Cubic Centimeters per Minute are used for chromatography carrier-gas and HPLC flows, while cubic meters per hour appear in air-handling unit and fan ratings in Europe and Asia. Both measure volumetric flow rate (volume per unit time), so the conversion is a fixed factor.
