How to convert cubic feet per minute to cubic inches per minute?

Sure! To convert cubic feet per minute (CFM) to cubic inches per minute (CIM), you first need to know the conversion factor between cubic feet and cubic inches.

1 cubic foot (ft³) = 12 inches (in) × 12 inches (in) × 12 inches (in) = 1728 cubic inches (in³).

So, 1 cubic foot per minute (CFM) is equal to 1728 cubic inches per minute (CIM).

Conversion Formula:

CIM=CFM×1728\text{CIM} = \text{CFM} \times 1728

For 1 CFM: CIM=1×1728=1728 cubic inches per minute\text{CIM} = 1 \times 1728 = 1728 \text{ cubic inches per minute}

Real-World Examples:

  1. Bathroom Exhaust Fan:

    • A typical bathroom exhaust fan might move air at around 50 CFM.
    • Converting to cubic inches per minute: 50×1728=86400 CIM50 \times 1728 = 86400 \text{ CIM}
  2. Computer Cooling Fan:

    • A typical computer cooling fan might move air at around 30 CFM.
    • Converting to cubic inches per minute: 30×1728=51840 CIM30 \times 1728 = 51840 \text{ CIM}
  3. Residential HVAC System:

    • A residential HVAC system might move air at around 1000 CFM.
    • Converting to cubic inches per minute: 1000×1728=1728000 CIM1000 \times 1728 = 1728000 \text{ CIM}
  4. Industrial Air Compressor:

    • An industrial air compressor might move air at around 5000 CFM.
    • Converting to cubic inches per minute: 5000×1728=8640000 CIM5000 \times 1728 = 8640000 \text{ CIM}

By using the conversion factor of 1728 cubic inches per cubic foot, you can easily convert any volume flow rate given in cubic feet per minute to cubic inches per minute.

See below section for step by step unit conversion with formulas and explanations. Please refer to the table below for a list of all the Cubic inches per minute to other unit conversions.

What is Cubic feet per minute?

Cubic feet per minute measures amount of fluid passes though a cross-sectional area. In short, it measures flow rate.

Flow rate can be calculated using following formula. Please note that tt is in minutes and QQ's unit of measure is ft^3/minute.

Q=Vt=AdtQ = \frac{V}{t} = \frac{A*d}{t}

QQ - Flow rate
VV - Volume (Cubic feet)
tt - Time in minutes AA - Cross-sectional area
dd - Distance the fluid traveled during the time tt

For more in-depth understanding of the flow rate read Flow Rate and Its Relation to Velocity from LibreTexts Physics website.

What is cubic inches per minute?

Cubic inches per minute (CIDM or CI/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate, which measures the volume of fluid that passes through a given area in one minute.

To calculate CIDM, you multiply the volume of liquid (in cubic inches) by the number of minutes:

CIDM = Volume of liquid (cubic inches) × Number of minutes

For example, if 10 cubic inches of liquid passes through an area in one minute, then the volumetric flow rate is:

CIDM = 10 cubic inches × 1 minute = 10 CI/min
