About Converting Liter per Minutes to Cubic foot per Hours
Liter per Minutes and Cubic foot per Hours 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. Liter per Minutes is most often used for household tap and shower flow rates.
Formula
cubic foot per hours = liter per minutes × 2.11888000329
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 liter per minutes equals 0.0000166666666667 base units, and 1 cubic foot per hours equals 0.00000786579072 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct liter per minutes-to-cubic foot per hours factor of 2.11888000329.
Simple example
1 L/min × 2.118880003 = 2.118880003 ft3/h
1 liter per minutes = 2.118880003 cubic foot per hours.
Real-world example
60 L/min × 2.118880003 = 127.1328002 ft3/h
60 liter per minutes = 127.1328002 cubic foot per hours.

What is a liter per minutes?
Liter per Minutes (L/min) measures volumetric flow rate. One liter of volume passing a point every minute. It is classified as a metric derived flow-rate unit.
What is a cubic foot per hours?
Cubic foot per Hours (ft3/h) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the liter per minutes to cubic foot per hours conversion exact?
Yes. Both liter per minutes and cubic foot per hours are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 2.118880003 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
Where is the liter per minutes still used today?
Common household and light-industrial flow specification worldwide
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.
