How to Convert Volumetric Flow Rate Units
Volumetric flow rate is the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time (Q = A × v). The SI unit is cubic metre per second (m³/s); flow meters are typically ranged in m³/h, L/min, US GPM or CFM.
Every unit on this page is stored as a fixed factor relative to one reference unit, the cubic metre per second (m³/s). Converting is a two step multiply and divide:
- Multiply your value by the factor of the source unit to get the value in m³/s.
- Divide that result by the factor of the target unit.
