FAQ
What is the conversion factor from cfs to ft³/min?
1 cfs equals 60 ft³/min. To convert, multiply the value in cubic feet per second by 60.
How do I convert 1 cfs to ft³/min?
1 cfs = 60 ft³/min. For any value, multiply by 60.
How do I convert ft³/min back to cfs?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.01666667. So 1 ft³/min = 0.0166667 cfs.
When would I need to convert cubic foot per second to cubic foot 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. cfs to ft³/min is a frequently needed conversion for flow datasheet preparation.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
