Convert volumetric flow rate between m³/s, CFM, L/min and L/s via cubic metres per second.
result = value × (from→m³/s) ÷ (to→m³/s)
It converts convert volumetric flow rate between m³/s, cfm, l/min and l/s via cubic metres per second by first normalising your value to the SI base unit (cubic metre per second) and then scaling to your chosen target unit. This hub-and-spoke approach guarantees every unit pair is internally consistent.
60 L/min to L/s: 60 × 1.6667e-5 = 0.001 m³/s, then ÷ 0.001 = 1 L/s.
Volumetric flow (m³/s, CFM, L/min) measures volume per second; mass flow (kg/s) measures mass per second. They are linked by density but are not interchangeable units. This converter handles volumetric flow.

Conversions are exact ratios where the units are defined exactly (most SI and imperial units) and best-available constants otherwise. Extremely large or small magnitudes are shown in general (g) format; round-tripping through the base unit may introduce tiny floating-point differences in the final decimal places.
