About this conversion
This page converts liters per minute (L/min) into cubic feet per second (ft3/s), two units of volumetric flow rate.
The Liter (L) is a unit of volume. The Minute (min) is a unit of time.
The Cubic Foot (ft3) is a unit of volume. The Second (s) is a unit of time.
The formula is ft3/s = L/min × 0.000588578, based on the fixed relationship between these two flow rate units.
Flow rate is calculated as a volume unit divided by a time unit, so every combination of a volume unit and a time unit forms a valid, exact flow rate unit.
