About Converting Deciliter per Hours to Centiliter per Seconds
Deciliter per Hours and Centiliter 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. Both are volumetric flow rate units.
Formula
centiliter per seconds = deciliter per hours × 0.00277777777778
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 deciliter per hours equals 2.777778e-8 base units, and 1 centiliter per seconds equals 0.00001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct deciliter per hours-to-centiliter per seconds factor of 0.00277777777778.
Simple example
1 dL/h × 0.002777777778 = 0.0027777778 cL/s
1 deciliter per hours = 0.0027777778 centiliter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 dL/h × 0.002777777778 = 0.1666666667 cL/s
60 deciliter per hours = 0.1666666667 centiliter per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many centiliter per seconds are in 1 deciliter per hours?
1 deciliter per hours equals 0.0027777778 centiliter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert deciliter per hours to centiliter per seconds?
Multiply the deciliter per hours value by 0.002777777778. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert centiliter per seconds back to deciliter per hours?
Use the reverse factor: 1 centiliter per seconds equals 360 deciliter per hours. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a deciliter per hours?
Deciliter per Hours (dL/h) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a centiliter per seconds?
Centiliter per Seconds (cL/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the deciliter per hours to centiliter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both deciliter per hours and centiliter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.002777777778 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
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.
