About Converting Cubic foot per Seconds to Cubic foot per Weeks
Cubic foot per Seconds and Cubic foot per Weeks 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 Seconds is most often used for the standard unit used by the us geological survey for reporting river and stream discharge at gauging stations.
Formula
cubic foot per weeks = cubic foot per seconds × 604800
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic foot per seconds equals 0.028316846592 base units, and 1 cubic foot per weeks equals 4.682018e-8 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per seconds-to-cubic foot per weeks factor of 604800.
Simple example
1 ft3/s × 604800 = 604,800 ft3/wk
1 cubic foot per seconds = 604,800 cubic foot per weeks.
Real-world example
60 ft3/s × 604800 = 36,288,000 ft3/wk
60 cubic foot per seconds = 36,288,000 cubic foot per weeks.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic foot per weeks are in 1 cubic foot per seconds?
1 cubic foot per seconds equals 604,800 cubic foot per weeks, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic foot per seconds to cubic foot per weeks?
Multiply the cubic foot per seconds value by 604800. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic foot per weeks back to cubic foot per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic foot per weeks equals 0.0000016534 cubic foot per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
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.
What is a cubic foot per weeks?
Cubic foot per Weeks (ft3/wk) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic foot per seconds to cubic foot per weeks conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic foot per seconds and cubic foot per weeks are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 604800 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
Where is the cubic foot per seconds still used today?
United States
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.
