About Converting Cubic foot per Seconds to Cubic Millimeter per Minutes
Cubic foot per Seconds and Cubic Millimeter 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. 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 millimeter per minutes = cubic foot per seconds × 1699010795.52
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 millimeter per minutes equals 1.666667e-11 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per seconds-to-cubic millimeter per minutes factor of 1699010795.52.
Simple example
1 ft3/s × 1699010796 = 1,699,010,796 mm3/min
1 cubic foot per seconds = 1,699,010,796 cubic millimeter per minutes.
Real-world example
60 ft3/s × 1699010796 = 101,940,647,700 mm3/min
60 cubic foot per seconds = 101,940,647,700 cubic millimeter per minutes.

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 millimeter per minutes?
Cubic Millimeter per Minutes (mm3/min) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic foot per seconds to cubic millimeter per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic foot per seconds and cubic millimeter per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1699010796 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.
