How to Convert Cubic Centimeter per Second to Cubic Meter per Second
- 1 cm³/s = 0.000001 m³/s
- 1 m³/s = 1000000 cm³/s
- Example: convert 15 cm³/s to m³/s: 15 cm³/s = 15 × 0.000001 m³/s = 0.000015 m³/s
Formula
m³/s = cm³/s ÷ 1000000
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 cm³/s = 10⁻⁶ m³ ÷ 1 s
- 1 m³/s = 1 m³ ÷ 1 s
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Cubic Centimeter per Second definition: cubic centimeter per second; Cubic Meter per Second definition: cubic meter per second.
Worked examples
- A reading of 2 cm³/s converts to 0.000002 m³/s.
2 cm³/s × 0.000001 = 0.000002 m³/s - A value of 50 cm³/s is 0.00005 m³/s.
50 cm³/s × 0.000001 = 0.00005 m³/s

Where it's used
Cubic Centimeters per Second are used for air permeability testers that report flow before dividing by area, 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.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic meters per second are in 1 cubic centimeter per second?
1 cm³/s = 0.000001 m³/s.
How do I convert cubic centimeters per second to cubic meters per second?
Multiply the value in cm³/s by 0.000001, or divide it by 1000000. For example, 15 cm³/s × 0.000001 = 0.000015 m³/s.
Is the cm³/s to m³/s conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly, and 1 cm³/s is exactly 0.000001 m³/s.
