Formula

Formula
L/min = ft³/hr × 0.4719474

Multiply any value in cubic feet per hour by 0.4719474 to obtain the value in litres per minute.

Worked example

Convert 100 ft³/hr to L/min.

  1. 01Start with 100 ft³/hr.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 0.4719474 = 47.1947 L/min.
Result100 ft³/hr = 47.1947 L/min

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from ft³/hr to L/min?
1 ft³/hr equals 0.4719474 L/min. To convert, multiply the value in cubic feet per hour by 0.4719474.
How do I convert 1 ft³/hr to L/min?
1 ft³/hr = 0.471947 L/min. For any value, multiply by 0.4719474.
How do I convert L/min back to ft³/hr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 2.11888. So 1 L/min = 2.11888 ft³/hr.
When would I need to convert cubic foot per hour 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. ft³/hr 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).
