How to Convert Cubic foot per minute to Litre per secondLitre per second
1 ft3/min = 0.4719471999802417 l/s
1 l/s = 2.1188810952620662 ft3/min
Example: convert 84 ft3/min to l/s:
84 ft3/min = 84 x 0.4719471999802417 = 39.6435647983403 l/s
Cubic foot per minute
Definition: Cubic feet per minute (ft3/min) is a flow rate unit that measures the volume of fluid or gas passing a point in one minute, measured in cubic feet. It is prevalent in many engineering applications.
History/origin: Like ft3/s, it combines the cubic foot volume unit with a time element, in this case, one minute. This allows a practical assessment of volume flow over a reasonable time.
Current use: It is common in HVAC systems for measuring air flow, pneumatic systems, and industrial processes where controlling gas or fluid volume is crucial.
Litre per second
Definition: Liters per second (L/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate. It represents the volume of a substance passing through a given point per unit of time, measured in liters per second.
History/origin: The liter (L) is a metric unit of volume. Its use dates back to the French Revolution. The 'per second' component makes it a measure of flow rate.
Current use: L/s is a frequently used unit for measuring fluid flow rates in various applications, including water supply systems, industrial processes, and environmental monitoring.
