About Converting Cubic foot per Seconds to Milliliter per Seconds
Cubic foot per Seconds and Milliliter per Seconds 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
milliliter per seconds = cubic foot per seconds × 28316.846592
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 milliliter per seconds equals 0.000001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per seconds-to-milliliter per seconds factor of 28316.846592.
Simple example
1 ft3/s × 28316.84659 = 28,316.84659 mL/s
1 cubic foot per seconds = 28,316.84659 milliliter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 ft3/s × 28316.84659 = 1,699,010.796 mL/s
60 cubic foot per seconds = 1,699,010.796 milliliter per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many milliliter per seconds are in 1 cubic foot per seconds?
1 cubic foot per seconds equals 28,316.84659 milliliter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic foot per seconds to milliliter per seconds?
Multiply the cubic foot per seconds value by 28316.84659. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert milliliter per seconds back to cubic foot per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 milliliter per seconds equals 0.0000353147 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 milliliter per seconds?
Milliliter per Seconds (mL/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic foot per seconds to milliliter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic foot per seconds and milliliter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 28316.84659 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.
