How to convert mm/s to M3/h? First one is speed, second one a volume.

Hello, my math courses are very far away.
I need to convert mm/s to m3/h but I even don't remenber where should I start from, as mm/s is speed, while m3/h are quantity.
I will be glad to get some help on this subject. Thanks

Given: 1 L/m²/s and 1 mm/s at 200 Pa
Find: m³/h
1 L/m²/s: the volume of the flow is 1 Liter per m² per second
1 mm/s: the linear air speed through that filter.

Convert the filter area to mm
The filter is 1 m² or 1000000 mm²

Check the flow in Liters/second:
1000000 mm² * 1 mm/s = 1000000 mm³/s = 1 Liter/s

Convert Liters/second to cubic meters/second
1 L/s / 1000 = 0.001 m³/s

Convert cubic meters/second to cubic meters/hour
0.001 m³/s *60 seconds *60 minutes = 3.6 m³/h

You get 3.6 m³/h for each square meter of filter area.
So multiply 3.6 times the actual filter area in square meters to get the total m³/h.
