Formula

Formula
cfs = ft³/min × 0.01666667

Multiply any value in cubic feet per minute by 0.01666667 to obtain the value in cubic feet per second.

Worked example

Convert 60 ft³/min to cfs.

  1. 01Start with 60 ft³/min.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 60 × 0.01666667 = 1 cfs.
Result60 ft³/min = 1 cfs

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from ft³/min to cfs?
1 ft³/min equals 0.01666667 cfs. To convert, multiply the value in cubic feet per minute by 0.01666667.
How do I convert 1 ft³/min to cfs?
1 ft³/min = 0.0166667 cfs. For any value, multiply by 0.01666667.
How do I convert cfs back to ft³/min?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 60. So 1 cfs = 60 ft³/min.
When would I need to convert cubic foot per minute to cubic foot per second?
Flow-rate conversions show up in pump curve interpretation, control valve sizing (Cv vs Kv), and aligning vendor specifications with process simulation outputs. ft³/min to cfs 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).
