FAQ
What is the conversion factor from cfs to L/min?
1 cfs equals 1699.011 L/min. To convert, multiply the value in cubic feet per second by 1699.011.
How do I convert 1 cfs to L/min?
1 cfs = 1699.01 L/min. For any value, multiply by 1699.011.
How do I convert L/min back to cfs?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.0005885778. So 1 L/min = 0.000588578 cfs.
When would I need to convert cubic foot per second to litre 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 L/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).
