About Converting Cubic Meter per Seconds to Cubic feet per Millisecond
Cubic Meter per Seconds and Cubic foot per Millisecond 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 Meter per Seconds is most often used for used by hydrologists and water-resource engineers internationally to report river and reservoir discharge at large scales.
Formula
cubic feet per millisecond = cubic meter per seconds × 0.0353146667215
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic meter per seconds equals 1 base unit, and 1 cubic foot per millisecond equals 28.316846592 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic meter per seconds-to-cubic foot per millisecond factor of 0.0353146667215.
Simple example
1 m3/s × 0.03531466672 = 0.0353146667 ft3/ms
1 cubic meter per seconds = 0.0353146667 cubic feet per millisecond.
Real-world example
60 m3/s × 0.03531466672 = 2.118880003 ft3/ms
60 cubic meter per seconds = 2.118880003 cubic feet per millisecond.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic feet per millisecond are in 1 cubic meter per seconds?
1 cubic meter per seconds equals 0.0353146667 cubic feet per millisecond, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic meter per seconds to cubic foot per millisecond?
Multiply the cubic meter per seconds value by 0.03531466672. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic foot per millisecond back to cubic meter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic foot per millisecond equals 28.31684659 cubic meter per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a cubic meter per seconds?
Cubic Meter per Seconds (m3/s) measures volumetric flow rate. The SI coherent unit for volumetric flow rate — one cubic meter of volume passing a point every second. It is classified as a SI coherent derived unit.
What is a cubic foot per millisecond?
Cubic foot per Millisecond (ft3/ms) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic meter per seconds to cubic foot per millisecond conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic meter per seconds and cubic foot per millisecond are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.03531466672 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
Where is the cubic meter per seconds still used today?
Used internationally in hydrology and large-scale water-resource engineering
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.
