How to Convert Cubic foot per minute to Cubic meter per secondCubic meter per second
1 ft3/min = 0.0004719471999802417 m3/s
1 m3/s = 2118.881095262066 ft3/min
Example: convert 32 ft3/min to m3/s:
32 ft3/min = 32 x 0.0004719471999802417 = 0.015102310399367734 m3/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.
Cubic meter per second
Definition: A cubic meter per second (m3/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing one cubic meter of substance passing a point in one second. It is used to measure very large volumes of fluid or gas flow.
History/origin: The cubic meter is a metric unit derived from the meter, a fundamental unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). 'Per second' indicates the rate of flow. Its origins lie in the development of standardized metric units for scientific and engineering applications.
Current use: M3/s is commonly used in hydrology (river flow measurement), large-scale industrial processes, and in the operation of hydroelectric power plants where the movement of large volumes of water is critical.
