The cubic meter per second is the SI derived unit of volumetric flow rate, expressing the volume of fluid passing per second.
Derived directly from the SI units of volume and time, it is the standard unit for large-scale industrial and natural flow calculations.
Measurement system: International System of Units (SI). SI equivalent: Base SI volumetric flow rate unit.
