Litres per second to Cubic Centimeters per second conversion

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

To convert from Litres per second (L/s) to Cubic Centimeters per second (cm³/s), you can use the fact that 1 Litre is equivalent to 1,000 Cubic Centimeters. This relationship makes the conversion straightforward. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Understand the Conversion Factor:

   • 1 Litre = 1,000 Cubic Centimeters

2. Apply the Conversion Factor:

   • The volume flow rate in Litres per second (L/s) can be multiplied by 1,000 to get the volume flow rate in Cubic Centimeters per second (cm³/s).

So, to convert 1 L/s to cm³/s: $1 \, \text{L/s} \times 1,000 \, \frac{\text{cm}^3}{\text{L}} = 1,000 \, \text{cm}^3/\text{s}$

Therefore, 1 L/s is equivalent to 1,000 cm³/s.

Real-World Examples

1. Kitchen Faucet:

   • A moderate-flow kitchen tap might have a flow rate of 0.1 to 0.2 L/s, which would be 100 to 200 cm³/s.

2. Fire Hose:

   • A typical fire hose might have a flow rate of around 4 L/s. This would be equivalent to 4,000 cm³/s.

3. Aquarium Filter Pump:

   • An aquarium filter might have a flow rate of 0.02 L/s, which corresponds to 20 cm³/s.

4. Swimming Pool Pump:

   • A large swimming pool pump could have a flow rate of 50 L/s, equivalent to 50,000 cm³/s.

5. Garden Hose:

   • A typical garden hose might have a flow rate of around 0.3 L/s, which would be equivalent to 300 cm³/s.

Summary Table

Litres per second (L/s)	Cubic Centimeters per second (cm³/s)
0.1 L/s	100 cm³/s
0.2 L/s	200 cm³/s
1 L/s	1,000 cm³/s
4 L/s	4,000 cm³/s
10 L/s	10,000 cm³/s
50 L/s	50,000 cm³/s

These examples help to illustrate the concept of volume flow rates and demonstrate how different everyday scenarios translate to various quantities of Litres per second converted to Cubic Centimeters per second.
