About Converting Liter per Seconds to Decaliter per Days
Liter per Seconds and Decaliter per Days 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. Liter per Seconds is most often used for municipal water supply and treatment plant flow rates.
Formula
decaliter per days = liter per seconds × 8640
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 liter per seconds equals 0.001 base units, and 1 decaliter per days equals 1.157407e-7 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct liter per seconds-to-decaliter per days factor of 8640.
Simple example
1 L/s × 8640 = 8,640 daL/d
1 liter per seconds = 8,640 decaliter per days.
Real-world example
60 L/s × 8640 = 518,400 daL/d
60 liter per seconds = 518,400 decaliter per days.

Understanding the Liter per Seconds
Liter per Seconds (L/s) measures volumetric flow rate. One liter of volume passing a point every second — used for larger flows than liter-per-minute conveniently describes. It is classified as a metric derived flow-rate unit.
Where it's used: Common in municipal water-utility and industrial flow specifications internationally
L/s vs. L/min. Both measure the same quantity at different time scales; 1 L/s equals 60 L/min. L/s is typically used for larger, continuous industrial or utility flows, while L/min suits smaller household-scale flows.
Uses of the Liter per Seconds today
- Municipal water supply and treatment plant flow rates
- Industrial process flow specifications
- Stream and river discharge measurement at moderate scales

Frequently asked questions
How many decaliter per days are in 1 liter per seconds?
1 liter per seconds equals 8,640 decaliter per days, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert liter per seconds to decaliter per days?
Multiply the liter per seconds value by 8640. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert decaliter per days back to liter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 decaliter per days equals 0.0001157407 liter per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a liter per seconds?
Liter per Seconds (L/s) measures volumetric flow rate. One liter of volume passing a point every second — used for larger flows than liter-per-minute conveniently describes. It is classified as a metric derived flow-rate unit.
What is a decaliter per days?
Decaliter per Days (daL/d) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the liter per seconds to decaliter per days conversion exact?
Yes. Both liter per seconds and decaliter per days are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 8640 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What is the difference between l/s vs. l/min?
