About Converting Centiliter per Seconds to Deciliter per Seconds
Centiliter per Seconds and Deciliter 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
deciliter per seconds = centiliter per seconds × 0.1
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centiliter per seconds equals 0.00001 base units, and 1 deciliter per seconds equals 0.0001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centiliter per seconds-to-deciliter per seconds factor of 0.1.
Simple example
1 cL/s × 0.1 = 0.1 dL/s
1 centiliter per seconds = 0.1 deciliter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 cL/s × 0.1 = 6 dL/s
60 centiliter per seconds = 6 deciliter per seconds.
Conversion table
| Centiliter per Seconds (cL/s) | Deciliter per Seconds (dL/s) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 cL/s | 0.01 dL/s |
| 1 cL/s | 0.1 dL/s |
| 10 cL/s | 1 dL/s |
| 60 cL/s | 6 dL/s |
| 100 cL/s | 10 dL/s |
| 1,000 cL/s | 100 dL/s |
Reverse conversion: Deciliter per Seconds to Centiliter per Seconds
0.1 dL/s × 10 = 1 cL/s
0.1 deciliter per seconds = 1 centiliter per seconds.
centiliter per seconds = deciliter per seconds × 10

Frequently asked questions
How many deciliter per seconds are in 1 centiliter per seconds?
1 centiliter per seconds equals 0.1 deciliter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centiliter per seconds to deciliter per seconds?
Multiply the centiliter per seconds value by 0.1. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert deciliter per seconds back to centiliter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 deciliter per seconds equals 10 centiliter per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a centiliter per seconds?
Centiliter per Seconds (cL/s) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a deciliter per seconds?
Deciliter per Seconds (dL/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the centiliter per seconds to deciliter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both centiliter per seconds and deciliter 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.
