About Converting Centiliter per Minutes to Cubic Centimeter per Seconds
Centiliter per Minutes and Cubic Centimeter 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
cubic centimeter per seconds = centiliter per minutes × 0.166666666667
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centiliter per minutes equals 1.666667e-7 base units, and 1 cubic centimeter per seconds equals 0.000001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centiliter per minutes-to-cubic centimeter per seconds factor of 0.166666666667.
Simple example
1 cL/min × 0.1666666667 = 0.1666666667 cm3/s
1 centiliter per minutes = 0.1666666667 cubic centimeter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 cL/min × 0.1666666667 = 10 cm3/s
60 centiliter per minutes = 10 cubic centimeter per seconds.

Reverse conversion: Cubic Centimeter per Seconds to Centiliter per Minutes
0.1666666667 cm3/s × 6 = 1 cL/min
0.1666666667 cubic centimeter per seconds = 1 centiliter per minutes.
centiliter per minutes = cubic centimeter per seconds × 6

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic centimeter per seconds are in 1 centiliter per minutes?
1 centiliter per minutes equals 0.1666666667 cubic centimeter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centiliter per minutes to cubic centimeter per seconds?
Multiply the centiliter per minutes value by 0.1666666667. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic centimeter per seconds back to centiliter per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic centimeter per seconds equals 6 centiliter per minutes. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a centiliter per minutes?
Centiliter per Minutes (cL/min) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a cubic centimeter per seconds?
Cubic Centimeter per Seconds (cm3/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the centiliter per minutes to cubic centimeter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both centiliter per minutes and cubic centimeter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.1666666667 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.
