About Converting Centiliter per Years to Cubic Centimeter per Seconds
Centiliter per Years 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 years × 3.168874e-7
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centiliter per years equals 3.168874e-13 base units, and 1 cubic centimeter per seconds equals 0.000001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centiliter per years-to-cubic centimeter per seconds factor of 3.168874e-7.
Simple example
1 cL/yr × 3.168874e-7 = 3.168874e-7 cm3/s
1 centiliter per years = 3.168874e-7 cubic centimeter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 cL/yr × 3.168874e-7 = 0.0000190132 cm3/s
60 centiliter per years = 0.0000190132 cubic centimeter per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic centimeter per seconds are in 1 centiliter per years?
1 centiliter per years equals 3.168874e-7 cubic centimeter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centiliter per years to cubic centimeter per seconds?
Multiply the centiliter per years value by 3.168874e-7. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic centimeter per seconds back to centiliter per years?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic centimeter per seconds equals 3,155,695.2 centiliter per years. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a centiliter per years?
Centiliter per Years (cL/yr) 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 years to cubic centimeter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both centiliter per years and cubic centimeter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 3.168874e-7 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.
