About Converting Liter per Minutes to Cubic foot per Minutes
Liter 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. Liter per Minutes is typically associated with common household and light-industrial flow specification worldwide, while Cubic foot per Minutes is typically associated with united States, and widely recognized internationally in HVAC and compressed-air equipment specifications.
Formula
cubic foot per minutes = liter per minutes × 0.0353146667215
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 minutes equals 0.0004719474432 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct liter per minutes-to-cubic foot per minutes factor of 0.0353146667215.
Simple example
1 L/min × 0.03531466672 = 0.0353146667 ft3/min
1 liter per minutes = 0.0353146667 cubic foot per minutes.
Real-world example
60 L/min × 0.03531466672 = 2.118880003 ft3/min
60 liter per minutes = 2.118880003 cubic foot per minutes.

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 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 liter per minutes to cubic foot per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both liter per minutes and cubic foot per minutes 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 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.
