FAQ

What is the conversion factor from m³/min to cfs?
1 m³/min equals 0.5885778 cfs. To convert, multiply the value in cubic metres per minute by 0.5885778.
How do I convert 1 m³/min to cfs?
1 m³/min = 0.588578 cfs. For any value, multiply by 0.5885778.
How do I convert cfs back to m³/min?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1.699011. So 1 cfs = 1.69901 m³/min.
When would I need to convert cubic metre 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. m³/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).
