Litres per second to Cubic Millimeters per second conversion

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

To convert 1 liter per second (L/s) to cubic millimeters per second (mm³/s), you'll need to follow these steps:

1. Understand the basic conversions:

   • 1 liter (L) is equal to 1,000 milliliters (mL).
   • 1 milliliter (mL) is equal to 1,000 cubic millimeters (mm³).

2. Combine these conversions to go from liters to cubic millimeters:

   • 1 liter (L) = 1,000 milliliters (mL)
   • Therefore, 1 liter (L) = 1,000 mL = 1,000 * 1,000 mm³ = 1,000,000 mm³

3. Since we're converting per second, this remains the same:

   • 1 L/s = 1,000,000 mm³/s

So, 1 liter per second is equal to 1,000,000 cubic millimeters per second.

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities in Litres per Second:

1. Household Water Flow:

   • A typical kitchen tap or faucet has a flow rate of about 0.1 to 0.5 L/s.

2. Fire Hydrant:

   • A fire hydrant can deliver water at a rate of approximately 10 to 20 L/s.

3. Garden Hose:

   • A garden hose typically has a flow rate of about 0.2 to 1.0 L/s, depending on the water pressure and the diameter of the hose.

4. Water Fountain:

   • Public water fountains usually have flow rates around 0.05 L/s to 0.1 L/s.

5. Car Wash:

   • A car wash system may use water at a rate of around 15 to 40 L/s.

6. Swimming Pool Flow:

   • The circulation system of a swimming pool can have a flow rate of about 5 to 20 L/s, depending on the size of the pool.

These examples show a range of common applications with varying flow rates, demonstrating how different activities can require different magnitudes of water flow.
