About Converting Cubic Centimeter per Seconds to Liter per Years
Cubic Centimeter per Seconds and Liter per Years 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
liter per years = cubic centimeter per seconds × 31556.952
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic centimeter per seconds equals 0.000001 base units, and 1 liter per years equals 3.168874e-11 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic centimeter per seconds-to-liter per years factor of 31556.952.
Simple example
1 cm3/s × 31556.952 = 31,556.952 L/yr
1 cubic centimeter per seconds = 31,556.952 liter per years.
Real-world example
60 cm3/s × 31556.952 = 1,893,417.12 L/yr
60 cubic centimeter per seconds = 1,893,417.12 liter per years.

Frequently asked questions
How many liter per years are in 1 cubic centimeter per seconds?
1 cubic centimeter per seconds equals 31,556.952 liter per years, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic centimeter per seconds to liter per years?
Multiply the cubic centimeter per seconds value by 31556.952. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert liter per years back to cubic centimeter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 liter per years equals 0.0000316887 cubic centimeter per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a cubic centimeter per seconds?
Cubic Centimeter per Seconds (cm3/s) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a liter per years?
Liter per Years (L/yr) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic centimeter per seconds to liter per years conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic centimeter per seconds and liter per years are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 31556.952 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.
