About Converting Cubic foot per Hours to Cubic Meter per Minutes
Cubic foot per Hours and Cubic Meter 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 meter per minutes = cubic foot per hours × 0.0004719474432
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic foot per hours equals 0.00000786579072 base units, and 1 cubic meter per minutes equals 0.0166666666667 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per hours-to-cubic meter per minutes factor of 0.0004719474432.
Simple example
1 ft3/h × 0.0004719474432 = 0.0004719474 m3/min
1 cubic foot per hours = 0.0004719474 cubic meter per minutes.
Real-world example
60 ft3/h × 0.0004719474432 = 0.0283168466 m3/min
60 cubic foot per hours = 0.0283168466 cubic meter per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic meter per minutes are in 1 cubic foot per hours?
1 cubic foot per hours equals 0.0004719474 cubic meter per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic foot per hours to cubic meter per minutes?
Multiply the cubic foot per hours value by 0.0004719474432. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic meter per minutes back to cubic foot per hours?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic meter per minutes equals 2,118.880003 cubic foot per hours. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a cubic foot per hours?
Cubic foot per Hours (ft3/h) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a cubic meter per minutes?
Cubic Meter per Minutes (m3/min) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic foot per hours to cubic meter per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic foot per hours and cubic meter per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.0004719474432 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.
