About Converting Bushel per Minutes to Cubic foot per Seconds
Bushel per Minutes and Cubic foot per Seconds both measure volumetric flow rate — how much volume passes a point over time — used to size pipes and pumps, monitor river or stream discharge, control industrial processes, and set medical infusion rates. Both are volumetric flow rate units.
Formula
cubic foot per seconds = bushel per minutes × 0.020740933642
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 bushel per minutes equals 0.000587317836115 base units, and 1 cubic foot per seconds equals 0.028316846592 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct bushel per minutes-to-cubic foot per seconds factor of 0.020740933642.
Simple example
1 bu/min × 0.02074093364 = 0.0207409336 ft3/s
1 bushel per minutes = 0.0207409336 cubic foot per seconds.
Real-world example
60 bu/min × 0.02074093364 = 1.244456019 ft3/s
60 bushel per minutes = 1.244456019 cubic foot per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic foot per seconds are in 1 bushel per minutes?
1 bushel per minutes equals 0.0207409336 cubic foot per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert bushel per minutes to cubic foot per seconds?
Multiply the bushel per minutes value by 0.02074093364. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic foot per seconds back to bushel per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic foot per seconds equals 48.2138373 bushel per minutes. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a bushel per minutes?
Bushel per Minutes (bu/min) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a cubic foot per seconds?
Cubic foot per Seconds (ft3/s) measures volumetric flow rate. One cubic foot of volume passing a point every second. It is classified as a US customary flow-rate unit.
Is the bushel per minutes to cubic foot per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both bushel per minutes and cubic foot per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.02074093364 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between volumetric and mass flow rate?
Volumetric flow rate measures the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time (for example, liters per second). Mass flow rate measures the mass instead. For a fluid of constant density the two are directly proportional, but for compressible fluids like gases, mass flow is often the more meaningful quantity.
