Convert Liters per Second to sccm
1 liter per second (L/s) equals 60000 sccm, at the reference conditions 0 °C and 101.325 kPa, with the gas at those conditions.
1 L/s = 60000 sccm

How to Convert Liter per Second to sccm
- 1 L/s = 60000 sccm
- 1 sccm = 0.00001666666667 L/s
- Example: convert 15 L/s to sccm: 15 L/s = 15 × 60000 sccm = 900000 sccm
Reference conditions. sccm: Standard flow: volume the gas would occupy at the standard reference conditions (default 0 °C, 101.325 kPa). Converting to actual flow needs the actual temperature and pressure.
Standard vs actual flow. The values above assume the gas is at the standard reference conditions (0 °C, 101.325 kPa). Set the actual temperature and pressure in the converter to get the real volumetric flow.
Formula
sccm = L/s × 60000
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 L/s = 10⁻³ m³ ÷ 1 s
- 1 sccm = 10⁻⁶ m³ ÷ 60 s, measured at standard reference conditions
- 1 L/s = 0.001 m³/s ÷ 1.666666666667 × 10⁻⁸ m³/s per sccm = 60000 sccm
- Standard ↔ actual: Q_actual = Q_standard × (T_actual / T_ref) × (P_ref / P_actual), absolute T and P.
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Liter per Second definition: liter per second; sccm definition: sccm.
Worked examples
- A reading of 5 L/s converts to 300000 sccm.
5 L/s × 60000 = 300000 sccm - A value of 50 L/s is 3000000 sccm.
50 L/s × 60000 = 3000000 sccm

Where it's used
Liters per Second are used for ventilation rates per person (ASHRAE 62.1, EN 16798), while sccm appear in mass flow controllers in semiconductor, vacuum and coating processes. Both measure volumetric flow rate (volume per unit time), so the conversion is a fixed factor.

Frequently asked questions
How many sccm are in 1 liter per second?
1 L/s = 60000 sccm (reference conditions 0 °C and 101.325 kPa, with the gas at those conditions).
How do I convert liters per second to sccm?
Multiply the value in L/s by 60000. For example, 15 L/s × 60000 = 900000 sccm.
Is the L/s to sccm conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly, so the ratio is exact; its decimal form does not terminate and is shown here to 10 significant figures (more with the precision selector).
