FAQ

What is the conversion factor from cfm to mL/min?
1 cfm equals 28316.85 mL/min. To convert, multiply the value in cubic feet per minute by 28316.85.
How do I convert 1 cfm to mL/min?
1 cfm = 28316.8 mL/min. For any value, multiply by 28316.85.
How do I convert mL/min back to cfm?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 3.531467e-5. So 1 mL/min = 3.53147e-5 cfm.
When would I need to convert cubic foot per minute to millilitre per minute?
Flow-rate conversions show up in pump curve interpretation, control valve sizing (Cv vs Kv), and aligning vendor specifications with process simulation outputs. cfm to mL/min is a frequently needed conversion for flow datasheet preparation.
Is the conversion exact?
Yes. Both cfm and mL/min are defined by exact SI relationships, so the displayed factor is exact (any rounding shown is only for display).
