About Converting Cubic Meter per Hours to Cup per Seconds
Cubic Meter per Hours and Cup 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
cup per seconds = cubic meter per hours × 1.17409801048
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 cup per seconds equals 0.0002365882365 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic meter per hours-to-cup per seconds factor of 1.17409801048.
Simple example
1 m3/h × 1.17409801 = 1.17409801 cup/s
1 cubic meter per hours = 1.17409801 cup per seconds.
Real-world example
60 m3/h × 1.17409801 = 70.44588063 cup/s
60 cubic meter per hours = 70.44588063 cup per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many cup per seconds are in 1 cubic meter per hours?
1 cubic meter per hours equals 1.17409801 cup per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic meter per hours to cup per seconds?
Multiply the cubic meter per hours value by 1.17409801. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cup per seconds back to cubic meter per hours?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cup per seconds equals 0.8517176514 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 cup per seconds?
Cup per Seconds (cup/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic meter per hours to cup per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic meter per hours and cup per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1.17409801 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.
