CFM to L/min (CFM to L/min)
Result
28.31684659 L/min
Formula
L/min = CFM × 28.31684659
1 CFM = 28.31684659 L/min, and 1 L/min = 0.03531466672 CFM.
Standard gravity is defined as exactly 9.80665 m/s². Density and flow factors follow from the length, mass and volume definitions (for example 1 US gallon per minute = 3.785411784 L/min).
Worked examples
- 1 CFM × 28.31684659 = 28.316847 L/min
- 10 CFM × 28.31684659 = 283.16847 L/min
- 100 CFM × 28.31684659 = 2,831.6847 L/min
Common mistakes
- Actual gravity varies from about 9.78 m/s² at the equator to 9.83 m/s² at the poles; "g" here is the defined standard value.
- GPM here means US gallons per minute; UK pump literature may use imperial gallons (4.546 L).
