Unit Definitions & Metrology Context

The standard SI unit of volumetric flow rate is cubic meters per second (m³/s), representing the volume of fluid that passes through a given cross-sectional area per second.

About Cubic Meters per Second (m³/s): Cubic Meter per Second (m³/s) is a unit in the Volumetric Flow Rate measurement category. It is widely used in si base unit (hydroelectric & river discharge). The cubic meter per second (m³/s) serves as the primary reference base unit for the volumetric flow rate domain.

About Cubic Meters per Hour (m³/h): Cubic Meter per Hour (m³/h) is a unit in the Volumetric Flow Rate measurement category. It is widely used in industrial ventilation & pumps. Relative to the volumetric flow rate base unit, 1 m³/h equals 0.000278 Cubic Meters per Second (m³/s).
