Convert Cubic Centimeter per Second to Liter per Second
Enter the number of cubic centimeters per second that you want to convert to liters per second.
How to Convert Cubic Centimeters per Second to Liters per Second
The cubic centimeter per second and liter per second are both units of flow rate. By definition, 1 liter per second equals exactly 1000 cubic centimeters per second. This means to convert cubic centimeters per second to liters per second, you divide by 1000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 cm³/s to liters per second:
We need to convert cubic centimeters per second to liters per second
Since 1 L/s = 1000 cm³/s, divide by 1000
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
5 cm³/s = 0.005 L/s

About These Units
Cubic Centimeter per Second (cm³/s)
Cubic centimeters per second (cm³/s or cc/s) equals mL/s. Used in medical, laboratory, and small-scale industrial applications. Syringe pump flow rates, fuel injector flow, and precise dispensing systems commonly use cm³/s or cc/s.
Liter per Second (L/s)
Liters per second (L/s) is common for water pumps, fire hoses (15-30 L/s), and plumbing flow rates. One L/s equals 15.85 US GPM or 60 L/min. Fire hydrant minimum flow: 32 L/s. Swimming pool circulation: 5-15 L/s depending on size.
