Conversion Formula

mL/s = mL/h × 0.0002777777778

About Millilitres per hour

The millilitre per hour (mL/h) equals 10⁻⁶/3600 ≈ 2.778×10⁻¹⁰ m³/s, standard for intravenous infusion pumps in clinical medicine and for slow-release laboratory syringe pumps. A 1 L IV bag running over 8 hours is set to 125 mL/h; subcutaneous insulin pumps deliver 1-100 mL/h of dilute insulin. 1 mL/h ≈ 2.778×10⁻¹⁰ m³/s.

About Millilitres per second

The millilitre per second (mL/s) equals 10⁻⁶ m³/s, common in laboratory syringe pumps, HPLC systems, and medical infusion devices. A standard IV drip running at 1 mL/s would deliver 3.6 L/h - a rapid infusion rate used in resuscitation; analytical HPLC columns run 0.5-5 mL/s. 1 mL/s = 10⁻⁶ m³/s = 60 mL/min = 3.6 L/h.
