About Converting Deciliter per Seconds to Cubic Centimeter per Seconds
Deciliter per Seconds and Cubic Centimeter 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
cubic centimeter per seconds = deciliter per seconds × 100
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 deciliter per seconds equals 0.0001 base units, and 1 cubic centimeter per seconds equals 0.000001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct deciliter per seconds-to-cubic centimeter per seconds factor of 100.
Simple example
1 dL/s × 100 = 100 cm3/s
1 deciliter per seconds = 100 cubic centimeter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 dL/s × 100 = 6,000 cm3/s
60 deciliter per seconds = 6,000 cubic centimeter per seconds.
Conversion table

| 0.1 dL/s | 10 cm3/s |
| 1 dL/s | 100 cm3/s |
| 10 dL/s | 1,000 cm3/s |
| 60 dL/s | 6,000 cm3/s |
| 100 dL/s | 10,000 cm3/s |
| 1,000 dL/s | 100,000 cm3/s |
Reverse conversion: Cubic Centimeter per Seconds to Deciliter per Seconds
100 cm3/s × 0.01 = 1 dL/s
100 cubic centimeter per seconds = 1 deciliter per seconds.
deciliter per seconds = cubic centimeter per seconds × 0.01

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic centimeter per seconds are in 1 deciliter per seconds?
1 deciliter per seconds equals 100 cubic centimeter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert deciliter per seconds to cubic centimeter per seconds?
Multiply the deciliter per seconds value by 100. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic centimeter per seconds back to deciliter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic centimeter per seconds equals 0.01 deciliter per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a deciliter per seconds?
Deciliter per Seconds (dL/s) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a cubic centimeter per seconds?
Cubic Centimeter per Seconds (cm3/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the deciliter per seconds to cubic centimeter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both deciliter per seconds and cubic centimeter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 100 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.
