Formula

Formula
in/min = cm/s × 23.62205

Multiply any value in centimetres per second (volumetric flux) by 23.62205 to obtain the value in inches per minute (volumetric flux).

Worked example

Convert 1 cm/s to in/min.

  1. 01Start with 1 cm/s.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 23.62205 = 23.622 in/min.
Result1 cm/s = 23.622 in/min

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from cm/s to in/min?
1 cm/s equals 23.62205 in/min. To convert, multiply the value in centimetres per second (volumetric flux) by 23.62205.
How do I convert 1 cm/s to in/min?
1 cm/s = 23.622 in/min. For any value, multiply by 23.62205.
How do I convert in/min back to cm/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.04233333. So 1 in/min = 0.0423333 cm/s.
When would I need to convert centimetre per second (volumetric flux) to inch per minute (volumetric flux)?
Volumetric-flux conversions between cm/s and in/min are routine in membrane filtration (RO, UF, MF, NF permeate flux), hydraulic loading specification, water-treatment design, hydrometallurgy and packed-bed column loading, and environmental engineering. LMH (L/m²/h) and gfd (gal/ft²/day) dominate membrane datasheets; m³/m²/h and m³/m²/day cover SI engineering ladders; m/day and cm/s appear as superficial velocity in hydromet and packed-bed work. Volumetric flux is the same physical quantity as superficial velocity (m³/m²/s ≡ m/s) but is kept distinct from the velocity and flow categories because the engineering intent is volumetric throughput per unit area, not bulk motion or total throughput.
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).
