Standard cubic centimeters per minute to millibar-liters per second
Type a value in sccm to get it in mbar·L/s instantly.
That's 17× as tight as an ultra-high vacuum system, while an ordinary vacuum system is 59× leakier. A one-liter vessel at one bar would take about 5.922×10¹⁰ seconds to empty.
Convert the other way: mbar·L/s to sccm
What it means
How big is that leak?
Leak rates are quoted for helium at room temperature. Air leaks about 2.7 times more slowly through the same hole, because its molecules are heavier.
The math
How to convert sccm to mbar·L/s
To convert standard cubic centimeters per minute to millibar-liters per second, multiply by 0.0168875.
Example: 1×10⁻⁶ sccm × 0.0168875 = 1.689×10⁻⁸ mbar·L/s.
In the other direction, 1 mbar·L/s = 59.2154 sccm.
