Cubic feet per second to Cubic meters per second conversion

How to convert cubic feet per second to cubic meters per second

1 cubic feet per second (ft^3/s) is equal to 0.028316832 cubic meters per second (m^3/s). Conversely, 1 cubic meters per second (m^3/s) is equal to 35.31468492 cubic feet per second (ft^3/s).

Step by step guide to convert cubic feet per second to cubic meters per second

Converting units

Cubic prefix used with length is used for measuring volume. Cubic metre or m^3 is an volume which is 1m long and 1m wide and 1m height. There is 3.2808 ft in a meter. Thus,

$$1 m^3 = 3.2808^3 ft^3 = 35.313378 ft^3$$

or

$$1 ft^3 = 0.028317 m^3$$

Substitute to calculate cubic feet per second (m^3/s)

$$1\ \frac{ft^3}{s} = 0.028317\ \frac{m^3}{s}$$

or

$$1 \frac{m^3}{s} = 35.313378 \frac{ft^3}{s}$$
