About Converting Cubic inch per Seconds to Deciliter per Seconds
Cubic inch 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 = cubic inch per seconds × 0.16387064
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic inch per seconds equals 0.000016387064 base units, and 1 deciliter per seconds equals 0.0001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic inch per seconds-to-deciliter per seconds factor of 0.16387064.
Simple example
1 in3/s × 0.16387064 = 0.16387064 dL/s
1 cubic inch per seconds = 0.16387064 deciliter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 in3/s × 0.16387064 = 9.8322384 dL/s
60 cubic inch per seconds = 9.8322384 deciliter per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many deciliter per seconds are in 1 cubic inch per seconds?
1 cubic inch per seconds equals 0.16387064 deciliter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic inch per seconds to deciliter per seconds?
Multiply the cubic inch per seconds value by 0.16387064. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert deciliter per seconds back to cubic inch per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 deciliter per seconds equals 6.102374409 cubic inch per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a cubic inch per seconds?
Cubic inch per Seconds (in3/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 cubic inch per seconds to deciliter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic inch per seconds and deciliter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.16387064 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.
