Convert Cubic Centimeters per Minute to m³/s

Formula

m³/s = cm³/min × 1.666666666667 × 10⁻⁸

or m³/s = cm³/min ÷ 60000000

Derivation from SI units:

• 1 cm³/min = 10⁻⁶ m³ ÷ 60 s
• 1 m³/s = 1 m³ ÷ 1 s

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

Worked examples

1. A reading of 5 cm³/min converts to 8.333333333 × 10⁻⁸ m³/s.
   5 cm³/min × 1.666666667 × 10⁻⁸ = 8.333333333 × 10⁻⁸ m³/s
2. A value of 200 cm³/min is 0.000003333333333 m³/s.
   200 cm³/min × 1.666666667 × 10⁻⁸ = 0.000003333333333 m³/s

Where it's used

Cubic Centimeters per Minute are used for chromatography carrier-gas and HPLC flows, while cubic meters per second appear in river and channel discharge. Both measure volumetric flow rate (volume per unit time), so the conversion is a fixed factor.
