How to Convert Cubic meter per minute to Cubic foot per secondCubic foot per second
1 m3/min = 0.5885780820172407 ft3/s
1 ft3/s = 1.6990099199288702 m3/min
Example: convert 32 m3/min to ft3/s:
32 m3/min = 32 x 0.5885780820172407 = 18.834498624551703 ft3/s
Cubic meter per minute
Definition: A cubic meter per minute (m3/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate indicating one cubic meter of substance passing a point in one minute. It measures medium to large volumes of fluid or gas flow.
History/origin: Derived from the cubic meter, the SI unit for volume. 'Per minute' specifies the rate of flow. This unit became important with the increasing need for accurate measurement and control of fluids and gasses in industrial and engineering applications.
Current use: M3/min is employed in ventilation systems, industrial processes involving moderate fluid or gas flow, and in measuring the output of pumps and compressors. It is also used to quantify the flow of air in HVAC systems and the flow of fluids in manufacturing processes.
Cubic foot per second
Definition: A cubic foot per second (ft3/s) is a unit of flow rate that represents the volume of fluid (or sometimes gas) passing a point in one second, measured in cubic feet. It's used where large volumes are transferred rapidly.
History/origin: This unit combines the cubic foot, a common volume measurement, with the second as the unit of time. It allows quantifying how quickly a volume of substance moves.
Current use: It's commonly used in hydrology for measuring river flow, in HVAC systems for air flow, and in industrial applications involving high-volume fluid or gas transfer.
