About Converting Cubic Meter per Hours to Cubic inch per Seconds
Cubic Meter per Hours and Cubic inch 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 inch per seconds = cubic meter per hours × 16.9510400263
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 inch per seconds equals 0.000016387064 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic meter per hours-to-cubic inch per seconds factor of 16.9510400263.
Simple example
1 m3/h × 16.95104003 = 16.95104003 in3/s
1 cubic meter per hours = 16.95104003 cubic inch per seconds.
Real-world example
60 m3/h × 16.95104003 = 1,017.062402 in3/s
60 cubic meter per hours = 1,017.062402 cubic inch per seconds.

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 inch per seconds?
Cubic inch per Seconds (in3/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic meter per hours to cubic inch per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic meter per hours and cubic inch per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 16.95104003 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.
