About Converting Cubic foot per Years to Metric cup per Seconds
Cubic foot per Years and Metric cup 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. Both are volumetric flow rate units.
Formula
metric cup per seconds = cubic foot per years × 0.00000358930058797
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic foot per years equals 8.973251e-10 base units, and 1 metric cup per seconds equals 0.00025 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per years-to-metric cup per seconds factor of 0.00000358930058797.
Simple example
1 ft3/yr × 0.000003589300588 = 0.0000035893 metric cup/s
1 cubic foot per years = 0.0000035893 metric cup per seconds.
Real-world example
60 ft3/yr × 0.000003589300588 = 0.000215358 metric cup/s
60 cubic foot per years = 0.000215358 metric cup per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many metric cup per seconds are in 1 cubic foot per years?
1 cubic foot per years equals 0.0000035893 metric cup per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic foot per years to metric cup per seconds?
Multiply the cubic foot per years value by 0.000003589300588. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert metric cup per seconds back to cubic foot per years?
Use the reverse factor: 1 metric cup per seconds equals 278,605.8107 cubic foot per years. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a cubic foot per years?
Cubic foot per Years (ft3/yr) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a metric cup per seconds?
Metric cup per Seconds (metric cup/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic foot per years to metric cup per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic foot per years and metric cup per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.000003589300588 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.
