What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms volumetric flow values expressed in cubic centimeters per day, a unit for very slow fluid flows, into cubic meters per second, the SI standard unit widely used in hydraulics and fluid mechanics.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in cubic centimeter per day
-
Select the from-unit as cubic centimeter/day
-
Choose the to-unit as cubic meter/second [m^3/s]
-
Click convert to get the equivalent flow rate in cubic meters per second
Key Features
-
Converts very low, slow flow rates from cubic centimeter/day to cubic meter/second
-
Uses precise conversion consistent with standard SI units
-
Supports applications in medical dosing, environmental monitoring, and hydraulic engineering
Examples
-
1000 cubic centimeter/day equals 1.1574e-8 cubic meter/second
-
500 cubic centimeter/day equals 5.7870e-9 cubic meter/second
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting slow intravenous or enteral infusion rates in clinical settings
-
Measuring leakage or permeation rates in containers or membranes
-
Monitoring small-scale laboratory or microfluidic flows over daily intervals
-
Hydrology assessments such as river or stream discharge measurements
-
Designing and rating pipes, pumps, turbines, and water treatment facilities
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure input values represent slow, low-volume flows over a day
-
Use the converted cubic meter/second values for integration with engineering calculations
-
Be mindful of very small decimal results requiring sensitive instrumentation for real-time use
Limitations
-
Conversion results may produce extremely small decimal values due to the low flow rates
-
Not always practical for real-time process control without high-precision measurement tools

Key Terminology
-
Cubic centimeter/day
-
A volumetric flow unit representing the volume of one cubic centimeter moved over 24 hours, used for very small continuous flow rates.
-
Cubic meter/second [m^3/s]
-
The SI derived unit for volumetric flow rate, indicating the volume of one cubic meter passing a cross-section per second.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The quantity of fluid volume transported per unit of time.
