About Converting Centiliters per Millisecond to Cubic foot per Minutes
Centiliter per Millisecond and Cubic foot per Minutes 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 minutes = centiliters per millisecond × 21.1888000329
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centiliter per millisecond equals 0.01 base units, and 1 cubic foot per minutes equals 0.0004719474432 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centiliter per millisecond-to-cubic foot per minutes factor of 21.1888000329.
Simple example
1 cL/ms × 21.18880003 = 21.18880003 ft3/min
1 centiliter per millisecond = 21.18880003 cubic foot per minutes.
Real-world example
60 cL/ms × 21.18880003 = 1,271.328002 ft3/min
60 centiliters per millisecond = 1,271.328002 cubic foot per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic foot per minutes are in 1 centiliter per millisecond?
1 centiliter per millisecond equals 21.18880003 cubic foot per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centiliter per millisecond to cubic foot per minutes?
Multiply the centiliter per millisecond value by 21.18880003. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic foot per minutes back to centiliter per millisecond?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic foot per minutes equals 0.0471947443 centiliters per millisecond. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a centiliter per millisecond?
Centiliter per Millisecond (cL/ms) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a cubic foot per minutes?
Cubic foot per Minutes (ft3/min) measures volumetric flow rate. One cubic foot of volume passing a point every minute. It is classified as a US customary flow-rate unit.
Is the centiliter per millisecond to cubic foot per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both centiliter per millisecond and cubic foot per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 21.18880003 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.
