About Converting Cubic foot per Minutes to Cubic foot per Days
Cubic foot per Minutes and Cubic foot per Days 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. Cubic foot per Minutes is most often used for the standard unit for rating hvac airflow, compressed-air equipment output, and fan/blower performance.
Formula
cubic foot per days = cubic foot per minutes × 1440
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic foot per minutes equals 0.0004719474432 base units, and 1 cubic foot per days equals 3.277413e-7 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per minutes-to-cubic foot per days factor of 1440.
Simple example
1 ft3/min × 1440 = 1,440 ft3/d
1 cubic foot per minutes = 1,440 cubic foot per days.
Real-world example
60 ft3/min × 1440 = 86,400 ft3/d
60 cubic foot per minutes = 86,400 cubic foot per days.

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.
What is a cubic foot per days?
Cubic foot per Days (ft3/d) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic foot per minutes to cubic foot per days conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic foot per minutes and cubic foot per days are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1440 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.
