About Converting Cubic Meter per Minutes to Cubic foot per Minutes
Cubic Meter per Minutes and Cubic foot 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. Both are volumetric flow rate units.
Formula
cubic foot per minutes = cubic meter per minutes × 35.3146667215
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic meter per minutes equals 0.0166666666667 base units, and 1 cubic foot per minutes equals 0.0004719474432 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic meter per minutes-to-cubic foot per minutes factor of 35.3146667215.
Simple example
1 m3/min × 35.31466672 = 35.31466672 ft3/min
1 cubic meter per minutes = 35.31466672 cubic foot per minutes.
Real-world example
60 m3/min × 35.31466672 = 2,118.880003 ft3/min
60 cubic meter per minutes = 2,118.880003 cubic foot per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic foot per minutes are in 1 cubic meter per minutes?
1 cubic meter per minutes equals 35.31466672 cubic foot per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic meter per minutes to cubic foot per minutes?
Multiply the cubic meter per minutes value by 35.31466672. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic foot per minutes back to cubic meter per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic foot per minutes equals 0.0283168466 cubic meter per minutes. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a cubic meter per minutes?
Cubic Meter per Minutes (m3/min) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a cubic foot per minutes?
Cubic foot per Minutes (ft3/min) measures volumetric flow rate. One cubic foot of volume passing a point every minute. It is classified as a US customary flow-rate unit.
Is the cubic meter per minutes to cubic foot per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic meter per minutes and cubic foot per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 35.31466672 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.
