About Converting Cubic Meter per Hours to Cubic Centimeter per Seconds
Cubic Meter per Hours 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. Cubic Meter per Hours is most often used for hvac equipment airflow and liquid-flow ratings.
Formula
cubic centimeter per seconds = cubic meter per hours × 277.777777778
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic meter per hours equals 0.000277777777778 base units, and 1 cubic centimeter per seconds equals 0.000001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic meter per hours-to-cubic centimeter per seconds factor of 277.777777778.
Simple example
1 m3/h × 277.7777778 = 277.7777778 cm3/s
1 cubic meter per hours = 277.7777778 cubic centimeter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 m3/h × 277.7777778 = 16,666.66667 cm3/s
60 cubic meter per hours = 16,666.66667 cubic centimeter per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic centimeter per seconds are in 1 cubic meter per hours?
1 cubic meter per hours equals 277.7777778 cubic centimeter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic meter per hours to cubic centimeter per seconds?
Multiply the cubic meter per hours value by 277.7777778. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic centimeter per seconds back to cubic meter per hours?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic centimeter per seconds equals 0.0036 cubic meter per hours. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a cubic meter per hours?
Cubic Meter per Hours (m3/h) measures volumetric flow rate. One cubic meter of volume passing a point every hour — a common scale for equipment and system flow ratings. It is classified as a metric derived flow-rate unit.
What is a cubic centimeter per seconds?
Cubic Centimeter per Seconds (cm3/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic meter per hours to cubic centimeter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic meter per hours and cubic centimeter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 277.7777778 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
Where is the cubic meter per hours still used today?
Standard flow-rate unit for HVAC and industrial equipment ratings internationally, outside the US
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.
