Centilitres per second to Cubic meters per minute conversion

How to convert centilitres per second to cubic meters per minute?

To convert from centilitres per second (cl/s) to cubic meters per minute (m³/min), we need to use several unit conversion steps. Here's the step-by-step process:

1. Convert Centilitres to Cubic Meters:

   • 1 centilitre (cl) = $1 \times 10^{-5}$ cubic meters (m³)
   • Therefore, 1 centilitre per second (cl/s) = $1 \times 10^{-5}$ cubic meters per second (m³/s).

2. Convert Seconds to Minutes:

   • 1 minute = 60 seconds
   • Hence, $1 \text{ m³/s} = 60 \text{ m³/min}$.

3. Combine the Two Conversions:

   • 1 cl/s = $1 \times 10^{-5}$ m³/s
   • To convert this to m³/min: $1 \text{ cl/s} = 1 \times 10^{-5} \text{ m³/s} \times 60 \text{ s/min} = 60 \times 10^{-5} \text{ m³/min}$
   • Simplifying, we get: $1 \text{ cl/s} = 6 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m³/min}$

Real World Examples

1. Kitchen Faucet:

   • A typical kitchen faucet might flow at about 15 centilitres per second (cl/s).
   • Conversion: $15 \text{ cl/s} = 15 \times 6 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m³/min} = 9 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m³/min}$.

2. Garden Hose:

   • A standard garden hose might have a flow rate around 75 centilitres per second (cl/s).
   • Conversion: $75 \text{ cl/s} = 75 \times 6 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m³/min} = 0.045 \text{ m³/min}$.

3. Shower Head:

   • A standard shower head might deliver water at 25 centilitres per second (cl/s).
   • Conversion: $25 \text{ cl/s} = 25 \times 6 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m³/min} = 0.015 \text{ m³/min}$.

4. Fire Hose:

   • A fire hose can emit around 500 centilitres per second (cl/s).
   • Conversion: $500 \text{ cl/s} = 500 \times 6 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m³/min} = 0.3 \text{ m³/min}$.

By using these conversions, you can understand various flow rates in different units and contexts.
