About Converting Cubic Meter per Seconds to Quart per Seconds
Cubic Meter per Seconds and Quart 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 Seconds is most often used for used by hydrologists and water-resource engineers internationally to report river and reservoir discharge at large scales.
Formula
quart per seconds = cubic meter per seconds × 1056.68820943
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic meter per seconds equals 1 base unit, and 1 quart per seconds equals 0.000946352946 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic meter per seconds-to-quart per seconds factor of 1056.68820943.
Simple example
1 m3/s × 1056.688209 = 1,056.688209 qt/s
1 cubic meter per seconds = 1,056.688209 quart per seconds.
Real-world example
60 m3/s × 1056.688209 = 63,401.29257 qt/s
60 cubic meter per seconds = 63,401.29257 quart per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many quart per seconds are in 1 cubic meter per seconds?
1 cubic meter per seconds equals 1,056.688209 quart per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic meter per seconds to quart per seconds?
Multiply the cubic meter per seconds value by 1056.688209. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert quart per seconds back to cubic meter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 quart per seconds equals 0.0009463529 cubic meter per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a cubic meter per seconds?
Cubic Meter per Seconds (m3/s) measures volumetric flow rate. The SI coherent unit for volumetric flow rate — one cubic meter of volume passing a point every second. It is classified as a SI coherent derived unit.
What is a quart per seconds?
Quart per Seconds (qt/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic meter per seconds to quart per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic meter per seconds and quart per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1056.688209 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
Where is the cubic meter per seconds still used today?
Used internationally in hydrology and large-scale water-resource engineering
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.
