About Converting Liter per Seconds to Cubic feet per Fortnight
Liter per Seconds and Cubic foot per Fortnight 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 Seconds is most often used for municipal water supply and treatment plant flow rates.
Formula
cubic feet per fortnight = liter per seconds × 42716.6208663
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 liter per seconds equals 0.001 base units, and 1 cubic foot per fortnight equals 2.341009e-8 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct liter per seconds-to-cubic foot per fortnight factor of 42716.6208663.
Simple example
1 L/s × 42716.62087 = 42,716.62087 ft3/fn
1 liter per seconds = 42,716.62087 cubic feet per fortnight.
Real-world example
60 L/s × 42716.62087 = 2,562,997.252 ft3/fn
60 liter per seconds = 2,562,997.252 cubic feet per fortnight.

Understanding the Liter per Seconds
Liter per Seconds (L/s) measures volumetric flow rate. One liter of volume passing a point every second — used for larger flows than liter-per-minute conveniently describes. It is classified as a metric derived flow-rate unit.
Where it's used: Common in municipal water-utility and industrial flow specifications internationally
L/s vs. L/min. Both measure the same quantity at different time scales; 1 L/s equals 60 L/min. L/s is typically used for larger, continuous industrial or utility flows, while L/min suits smaller household-scale flows.
Uses of the Liter per Seconds today
- Municipal water supply and treatment plant flow rates
- Industrial process flow specifications
- Stream and river discharge measurement at moderate scales

What is a liter per seconds?
Liter per Seconds (L/s) measures volumetric flow rate. One liter of volume passing a point every second — used for larger flows than liter-per-minute conveniently describes. It is classified as a metric derived flow-rate unit.
What is a cubic foot per fortnight?
Cubic foot per Fortnight (ft3/fn) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the liter per seconds to cubic foot per fortnight conversion exact?
Yes. Both liter per seconds and cubic foot per fortnight are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 42716.62087 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What is the difference between l/s vs. l/min?
Both measure the same quantity at different time scales; 1 L/s equals 60 L/min. L/s is typically used for larger, continuous industrial or utility flows, while L/min suits smaller household-scale flows.
Where is the liter per seconds still used today?
Common in municipal water-utility and industrial flow specifications internationally
