Volumetric flow rate.
Centiliters per Millisecond to Deciliters per Millisecond Converter — cL/ms to dL/ms
Convert Centiliter per Millisecond (cL/ms) to Deciliter per Millisecond (dL/ms) using the exact conversion factor (1 centiliter per millisecond = 0.1 deciliter per millisecond). See the formula, worked examples, and conversion table.

About Converting Centiliters per Millisecond to Deciliters per Millisecond
Centiliter per Millisecond and Deciliter per Millisecond both measure volumetric flow rate — how much volume passes a point over time — used to size pipes and pumps, monitor river or stream discharge, control industrial processes, and set medical infusion rates. Both are volumetric flow rate units.
Formula
deciliters per millisecond = centiliters per millisecond × 0.1
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centiliter per millisecond equals 0.01 base units, and 1 deciliter per millisecond equals 0.1 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centiliter per millisecond-to-deciliter per millisecond factor of 0.1.
Simple example
1 cL/ms × 0.1 = 0.1 dL/ms
1 centiliter per millisecond = 0.1 deciliters per millisecond.
Real-world example
60 cL/ms × 0.1 = 6 dL/ms
60 centiliters per millisecond = 6 deciliters per millisecond.
Conversion table
| Centiliter per Millisecond (cL/ms) | Deciliter per Millisecond (dL/ms) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 cL/ms | 0.01 dL/ms |
| 1 cL/ms | 0.1 dL/ms |
| 10 cL/ms | 1 dL/ms |
| 60 cL/ms | 6 dL/ms |
| 100 cL/ms | 10 dL/ms |
| 1,000 cL/ms | 100 dL/ms |
Reverse conversion: Deciliter per Millisecond to Centiliter per Millisecond
0.1 dL/ms × 10 = 1 cL/ms
0.1 deciliters per millisecond = 1 centiliters per millisecond.
centiliters per millisecond = deciliters per millisecond × 10

Frequently asked questions
How many deciliters per millisecond are in 1 centiliter per millisecond?
1 centiliter per millisecond equals 0.1 deciliters per millisecond, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centiliter per millisecond to deciliter per millisecond?
Multiply the centiliter per millisecond value by 0.1. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert deciliter per millisecond back to centiliter per millisecond?
Use the reverse factor: 1 deciliter per millisecond equals 10 centiliters per millisecond. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a centiliter per millisecond?
Centiliter per Millisecond (cL/ms) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a deciliter per millisecond?
Deciliter per Millisecond (dL/ms) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the centiliter per millisecond to deciliter per millisecond conversion exact?
Yes. Both centiliter per millisecond and deciliter per millisecond are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.1 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between volumetric and mass flow rate?
Volumetric flow rate measures the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time (for example, liters per second). Mass flow rate measures the mass instead. For a fluid of constant density the two are directly proportional, but for compressible fluids like gases, mass flow is often the more meaningful quantity.
