Cubic Centimeters per second to Cubic Millimeters per second conversion

How to convert cubic centimeters per second to cubic millimeters per second?

To convert cubic centimeters per second (cm³/s) to cubic millimeters per second (mm³/s), you need to understand the relationship between these two volume units:

1 cubic centimeter (cm³) is equivalent to 1,000 cubic millimeters (mm³).

Therefore, the conversion factor is 1 cm³ = 1,000 mm³.

To convert 1 cubic centimeter per second (cm³/s) to cubic millimeters per second (mm³/s), you multiply by the conversion factor:

1 cm³/s * 1,000 mm³/cm³ = 1,000 mm³/s.

So, 1 cm³/s is equivalent to 1,000 mm³/s.

Real-World Examples:

1. Water Flow in Small Pipelines:

   • Consider a small aquarium pump that moves water at a rate of 5 cm³/s. To convert this to cubic millimeters per second: 5 cm³/s * 1,000 mm³/cm³ = 5,000 mm³/s.
   • So, the water flow rate is 5,000 mm³/s.

2. IV Drip Rate:

   • An IV drip may administer fluids to a patient at a rate of 0.5 cm³/s. 0.5 cm³/s * 1,000 mm³/cm³ = 500 mm³/s.
   • Thus, the IV drip rate is 500 mm³/s.

3. Fuel Injection in Engines:

   • Fuel injectors in car engines might inject fuel at a rate of 2 cm³/s. 2 cm³/s * 1,000 mm³/cm³ = 2,000 mm³/s.
   • Therefore, the fuel injection rate is 2,000 mm³/s.

4. Flow Rate of a Medical Syringe:

   • When administering medication, a syringe might inject at a rate of 1.2 cm³/s. 1.2 cm³/s * 1,000 mm³/cm³ = 1,200 mm³/s.
   • Hence, the flow rate is 1,200 mm³/s.

In each example, converting the flow rate from cm³/s to mm³/s simply involves multiplying by 1,000.
