Cubic Meter per Day to Liter per Second (m³/d to LPS)
Convert m³/d to LPS — Flow Rate converter
Also written as m3/d to LPS.
One cubic meter per day equals 0.01157407 LPS, so to convert cubic meters per day to liters per second you multiply the value by 0.01157407. A cubic meter per day is smaller than a liter per second — going the other way, 1 LPS = 86.4 m³/d. For example, 10 m³/d = 0.11574074 LPS and 50 m³/d = 0.5787037 LPS.
1 m³/d = 0.01157407 LPS

Which gallon, and which trade
The single most expensive mistake in flow conversion is the gallon. A US liquid gallon is 3.785411784 litres; an imperial gallon is 4.54609 litres. US GPM and imperial GPM differ by about 20%, and pump datasheets frequently do not say which one they mean. Check the manufacturer's country of origin before trusting a GPM figure.
Different trades default to different units for the same physical quantity: HVAC and compressed air work in CFM, plumbing and pumps in GPM or LPM, and process and water engineering in m³/h or L/s. A specification that mixes them is usually quoting different equipment, not different flows. On this page, 1 m³/d = 0.01157407 LPS.
