About Converting Cubic foot per Seconds to Quart per Minutes
Cubic foot per Seconds and Quart 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
quart per minutes = cubic foot per seconds × 1795.32467532
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 quart per minutes equals 0.0000157725491 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per seconds-to-quart per minutes factor of 1795.32467532.
Simple example
1 ft3/s × 1795.324675 = 1,795.324675 qt/min
1 cubic foot per seconds = 1,795.324675 quart per minutes.
Real-world example
60 ft3/s × 1795.324675 = 107,719.4805 qt/min
60 cubic foot per seconds = 107,719.4805 quart 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 quart per minutes?
Quart per Minutes (qt/min) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic foot per seconds to quart per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic foot per seconds and quart per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1795.324675 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.
