About Converting Liter per Hours to Deciliter per Seconds
Liter per Hours and Deciliter 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
deciliter per seconds = liter per hours × 0.00277777777778
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 liter per hours equals 2.777778e-7 base units, and 1 deciliter per seconds equals 0.0001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct liter per hours-to-deciliter per seconds factor of 0.00277777777778.
Simple example
1 L/h × 0.002777777778 = 0.0027777778 dL/s
1 liter per hours = 0.0027777778 deciliter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 L/h × 0.002777777778 = 0.1666666667 dL/s
60 liter per hours = 0.1666666667 deciliter per seconds.

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