Explanation

Formula: Cubic Feet per Minute = Cubic Feet per Second × 60. Why: the route converts both units through liters per second using the exact cubic-foot definition and the matching time-base scaling.

Cubic Feet per Second (cfs): a larger cubic-foot flow unit used for airflow, drainage, and open-channel or hydraulic flow reporting.

Cubic Feet per Minute (cfm): an imperial volumetric flow unit widely used for airflow, ventilation, and HVAC system sizing.

This route is useful when restating the same cubic-foot flow across per-second and per-minute reporting, especially for airflow, ventilation, and hydraulic references.

This conversion is purely multiplicative because both units reduce through one liters-per-second flow basis with fixed unit-volume definitions and no offset.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 1 cubic foot per second in cubic feet per minute?

1 Cubic Foot per Second equals 60 Cubic Feet per Minute on this page.

How are cubic feet per minute and cubic feet per second related?

They keep the same cubic-foot volume basis and only change the time interval. That is why 1 cubic foot per second equals exactly 60 cubic feet per minute.

When would I convert cubic feet per second to cubic feet per minute?

This route is useful when restating the same cubic-foot flow across per-second and per-minute reporting, especially for airflow, ventilation, and hydraulic references.

How do I reverse Cubic Feet per Second to Cubic Feet per Minute?

Use the mirror Cubic Feet per Minute to Cubic Feet per Second route; it applies the inverse relationship with the same flow-rate assumptions.
