Volumetric flow rate.
Centiliters per Millisecond to Hectoliter per Seconds Converter — cL/ms to hL/s
Convert Centiliter per Millisecond (cL/ms) to Hectoliter per Seconds (hL/s) using the exact conversion factor (1 centiliter per millisecond = 0.1 hectoliter per seconds). See the formula, worked examples, and conversion table.

About Converting Centiliters per Millisecond to Hectoliter per Seconds
Centiliter per Millisecond and Hectoliter per Seconds 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
hectoliter per seconds = 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 hectoliter per seconds equals 0.1 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centiliter per millisecond-to-hectoliter per seconds factor of 0.1.
Simple example
1 cL/ms × 0.1 = 0.1 hL/s
1 centiliter per millisecond = 0.1 hectoliter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 cL/ms × 0.1 = 6 hL/s
60 centiliters per millisecond = 6 hectoliter per seconds.
Conversion table
| Centiliter per Millisecond (cL/ms) | Hectoliter per Seconds (hL/s) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 cL/ms | 0.01 hL/s |
| 1 cL/ms | 0.1 hL/s |
| 10 cL/ms | 1 hL/s |
| 60 cL/ms | 6 hL/s |
| 100 cL/ms | 10 hL/s |
| 1,000 cL/ms | 100 hL/s |
Reverse conversion: Hectoliter per Seconds to Centiliter per Millisecond
0.1 hL/s × 10 = 1 cL/ms
0.1 hectoliter per seconds = 1 centiliters per millisecond.
centiliters per millisecond = hectoliter per seconds × 10

Frequently asked questions
How many hectoliter per seconds are in 1 centiliter per millisecond?
1 centiliter per millisecond equals 0.1 hectoliter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centiliter per millisecond to hectoliter per seconds?
Multiply the centiliter per millisecond value by 0.1. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert hectoliter per seconds back to centiliter per millisecond?
Use the reverse factor: 1 hectoliter per seconds 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 hectoliter per seconds?
Hectoliter per Seconds (hL/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the centiliter per millisecond to hectoliter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both centiliter per millisecond and hectoliter per seconds 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.
