Cubic Centimeter per Second (cm³/s)
The cubic centimetre per second (cm³/s, also cc/s or mL/s) is a flow of one cubic centimetre each second, 10⁻⁶ m³/s.
Symbol: cm³/s (ASCII: cm3/s)
Quantity: volumetric flow rate (volume per unit time)
SI relation: 1 cm³/s = 0.000001 m³/s (exact)
Derivation: 1 cm³/s = 10⁻⁶ m³ ÷ 1 s
Exact: yes, by definition
Typical uses
- Air permeability testers that report flow before dividing by area
- Leak rates and small-gas flows
- Microfluidics and dosing pumps
