To convert cubic feet per minute (CFM) to cubic meters per minute (m³/min), you need to know the conversion factor between cubic feet and cubic meters.
1 cubic foot is equal to approximately 0.0283168 cubic meters. Therefore, to convert 1 CFM to cubic meters per minute, you can use this conversion factor:
1 CFM * 0.0283168 (m³/ft³) = 0.0283168 m³/min
Now, let's apply this conversion factor to different quantities of CFM:
If you have 10 CFM: 10 CFM * 0.0283168 (m³/ft³) ≈ 0.283168 m³/min
If you have 100 CFM: 100 CFM * 0.0283168 (m³/ft³) ≈ 2.83168 m³/min
If you have 500 CFM: 500 CFM * 0.0283168 (m³/ft³) ≈ 14.1584 m³/min
If you have 1000 CFM: 1000 CFM * 0.0283168 (m³/ft³) ≈ 28.3168 m³/min

By using the conversion factor (0.0283168 m³/ft³), you can easily convert any volume flow rate from cubic feet per minute to cubic meters 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 meters per minute to other unit conversions.
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 is in minutes and 's unit of measure is ft^3/minute.
- Flow rate
- Volume (Cubic feet)
- Time in minutes
- Cross-sectional area
- Distance the fluid traveled during the time
For more in-depth understanding of the flow rate read Flow Rate and Its Relation to Velocity from LibreTexts Physics website.
Cubic meters per minute (m³/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate. It measures the volume of fluid (such as air, water, or gas) that flows through a given area in one minute.
To put it simply, if you have a pipe or duct with an outlet area of 1 square meter and it can move 3 cubic meters of fluid through it every minute, then the volumetric flow rate is 3 m³/min.
