Litre per second to cubic foot per minute converter

The Litre per second to cubic foot per minute converter computes litre per second to cubic foot per minute from the relation cfm = L/s x 2.1188800032893154. It takes a single input (litre per second in L/s) and returns the cubic foot per minute in cfm. Because this is a pure mathematical or physical formula rather than a jurisdiction-specific rule, the result never changes over time: the same inputs always produce the same answer, so you can rely on it whether you are checking homework, sizing a design, or sanity-checking another tool. Enter your values in the fields below and the result updates instantly; you can also share a permalink that pre-fills the exact calculation, which is useful for teaching, reports, or collaboration. For example, with litre per second = 10 L/s, the cubic foot per minute works out to 21.1888 cfm, and the worked example further down the page shows every step so you can follow the arithmetic and reproduce it by hand. The method is the standard form documented by NIST SP 811 / BIPM SI, and the figure above each result carries the date it was last verified. This tool is general information and is not a substitute for professional engineering, medical, financial, or scientific advice; always check critical results against the primary source and your own judgement.

With litre per second = 10 L/s, the result is 21.1888 cfm.

Formula: cfm = L/s x 2.1188800032893154. Source: NIST SP 811 / BIPM SI, as at 2026-06-22.

The formula

cfm = L/s x 2.1188800032893154

Worked example

With litre per second = 10 L/s:

  1. cfm = L/s x 2.1188800032893154
  2. = 10 x 2.1188800032893154
  3. cubic foot per minute = 21.1888 cfm

This worked example is one of the automated golden-value tests this calculator must pass before it can publish.

What this assumes

  • Inputs are real numbers in the units shown.
  • The result is the exact value of cfm = L/s x 2.1188800032893154; general information, not professional advice.

Frequently asked questions

What formula does this use?

cfm = L/s x 2.1188800032893154, the standard form documented by NIST SP 811 / BIPM SI.

Does the result ever change over time?

No. This is a pure formula with no external rate, so the same inputs always give the same result.
