Litres per second to Cubic inches per second conversion

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

To convert litres per second (L/s) to cubic inches per second (in³/s), you need to know the conversion factor between litres and cubic inches.

1 litre is equal to 61.0237 cubic inches.

Conversion Steps:

1. Identify the Conversion Factor: $1 \, \text{litre} = 61.0237 \, \text{cubic inches}$

2. Set Up the Conversion: Since you want to convert 1 L/s to in³/s: $1 \, \text{L/s} = 1 \, \text{litre} \times 61.0237 \, \text{cubic inches per litre}$

3. Calculate: $1 \, \text{L/s} = 61.0237 \, \text{in³/s}$

So, 1 L/s is equal to 61.0237 in³/s.

Real-World Examples for Different Quantities of L/s:

1. Household Shower:

   • Typical flow rate: about 9.5 L/min (0.158 L/s).
   • Conversion to in³/s: $0.158 \, \text{L/s} \approx 0.158 \times 61.0237 \, \text{in³/s} = 9.6397 \, \text{in³/s}$

2. Garden Hose:

   • Typical flow rate: about 20 L/min (0.333 L/s).
   • Conversion to in³/s: $0.333 \, \text{L/s} \approx 0.333 \times 61.0237 \, \text{in³/s} = 20.3229 \, \text{in³/s}$

3. Fire Hose:

   • Typical flow rate: about 1,000 L/min (16.67 L/s).
   • Conversion to in³/s: $16.67 \, \text{L/s} \approx 16.67 \times 61.0237 \, \text{in³/s} = 1,016.773 \, \text{in³/s}$

4. Small Stream:

   • Flow rate: about 100 L/s.
   • Conversion to in³/s: $100 \, \text{L/s} \approx 100 \times 61.0237 \, \text{in³/s} = 6,102.37 \, \text{in³/s}$

5. Irrigation System:

   • Large field irrigation system might flow at 200 L/s.
   • Conversion to in³/s: $200 \, \text{L/s} \approx 200 \times 61.0237 \, \text{in³/s} = 12,204.74 \, \text{in³/s}$

These examples illustrate the range of applications and contexts in which volume flow rates are encountered, indicating how important accurate conversions can be in different engineering, environmental, and everyday scenarios.
