About Converting Cup per Minutes to Cubic foot per Minutes
Cup 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 = cup per minutes × 0.00835503472222
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cup per minutes equals 0.000003943137275 base units, and 1 cubic foot per minutes equals 0.0004719474432 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cup per minutes-to-cubic foot per minutes factor of 0.00835503472222.
Simple example
1 cup/min × 0.008355034722 = 0.0083550347 ft3/min
1 cup per minutes = 0.0083550347 cubic foot per minutes.
Real-world example
60 cup/min × 0.008355034722 = 0.5013020833 ft3/min
60 cup per minutes = 0.5013020833 cubic foot per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic foot per minutes are in 1 cup per minutes?
1 cup per minutes equals 0.0083550347 cubic foot per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cup per minutes to cubic foot per minutes?
Multiply the cup per minutes value by 0.008355034722. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic foot per minutes back to cup per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic foot per minutes equals 119.6883117 cup per minutes. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a cup per minutes?
Cup per Minutes (cup/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 cup per minutes to cubic foot per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both cup per minutes and cubic foot per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.008355034722 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.
