About Converting Cubic Meter per Hours to Metric cup per Hours
Cubic Meter per Hours and Metric cup per Hours 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
metric cup per hours = cubic meter per hours × 4000
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 metric cup per hours equals 6.944444e-8 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic meter per hours-to-metric cup per hours factor of 4000.
Simple example
1 m3/h × 4000 = 4,000 metric cup/h
1 cubic meter per hours = 4,000 metric cup per hours.
Real-world example
60 m3/h × 4000 = 240,000 metric cup/h
60 cubic meter per hours = 240,000 metric cup per hours.
Conversion table
| Cubic Meter per Hours (m3/h) | Metric cup per Hours (metric cup/h) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 m3/h | 400 metric cup/h |
| 1 m3/h | 4,000 metric cup/h |
| 10 m3/h | 40,000 metric cup/h |
| 60 m3/h | 240,000 metric cup/h |
| 100 m3/h | 400,000 metric cup/h |

Frequently asked questions
How many metric cup per hours are in 1 cubic meter per hours?
1 cubic meter per hours equals 4,000 metric cup per hours, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic meter per hours to metric cup per hours?
Multiply the cubic meter per hours value by 4000. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert metric cup per hours back to cubic meter per hours?
Use the reverse factor: 1 metric cup per hours equals 0.00025 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 metric cup per hours?
Metric cup per Hours (metric cup/h) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic meter per hours to metric cup per hours conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic meter per hours and metric cup per hours are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 4000 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.
