Formula

Formula
cfs = m³/hr × 0.00980963

Multiply any value in cubic metres per hour by 0.00980963 to obtain the value in cubic feet per second.

Worked example

Convert 1000 m³/hr to cfs.

  1. 01Start with 1000 m³/hr.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.00980963 = 9.80963 cfs.
Result1000 m³/hr = 9.80963 cfs

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from m³/hr to cfs?
1 m³/hr equals 0.00980963 cfs. To convert, multiply the value in cubic metres per hour by 0.00980963.
How do I convert 1 m³/hr to cfs?
1 m³/hr = 0.00980963 cfs. For any value, multiply by 0.00980963.
How do I convert cfs back to m³/hr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 101.9406. So 1 cfs = 101.941 m³/hr.
When would I need to convert cubic metre per hour 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. m³/hr 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).
