Cubic Meter per Second to Cubic Foot per Minute Converter

Cubic meter per second (m³/s) is the SI unit of volumetric flow rate, representing the volume of fluid passing through a given cross-sectional area per unit time. One cubic meter per second equals 1,000 liters per second.

The m³/s unit was established with the International System of Units (SI) as the standard scientific unit for volumetric flow rate. It became essential for hydraulic engineering, fluid mechanics, and large-scale flow measurements in rivers, pipelines, and industrial systems.

M³/s is used in hydraulic engineering, river flow measurements, large pipeline systems, and scientific research. It's standard for measuring discharge rates of rivers, flow capacity of large pumps, and in fluid mechanics calculations for major water treatment and distribution systems.

Cubic foot per minute (ft³/min or CFM) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in cubic feet passing through a given area per minute. It's one of the most common flow rate units in American HVAC and industrial applications.

The CFM unit became standard in American HVAC and industrial applications as it provided convenient numerical values for air handling systems, ventilation, and medium-scale industrial processes. It was particularly important in the development of modern air conditioning and ventilation systems.

CFM is extensively used in HVAC systems, air compressors, ventilation design, and industrial air handling. It's standard for air conditioner specifications, fan ratings, compressed air systems, and building ventilation requirements in the United States.
