How do you convert normal liters per minute to standard feet per minute?

Answer 1

You cannot convert it. Liters per minute is volume while feet per minute is velocity. There is a similar looking term - Standard Cubic Feet Per Minute, if this is what you meant, then the conversion can be done as it is also volume (volume of gas or liquid flowing per minute to be presice).

use this conversion factor STANDARD CUBIC FEET PER MINUTE - scfm

(at 14.696 psia and 60F) x 0.4474 = Litres per second (l/s) at standard conditions

(760 mmHg and 0oC)

Answer 2

There are about 28.317 liters in a cubic foot, and there are 60 seconds in a minute. To convert a quantity expressed in cubic feet per minute into one expressed in liters per second, multiply by 28.317 and divide by 60. Or just take the initial quantity and multiply by 0.47195 (which is a "combination" of the two operations suggested). By simple inspection, the conversion factor, 0.47195, is about 0.5 or 1/2 or one half. You should be able to eyeball a quantity in units of cubic feet per minute and cut it in half in your head to get an approximation of that quantity in liters per second. Simple and easy once you think it through.

Answer 3

1 slpm (standard liters per minute) = 1000 sccm (standard cubic centimeters per minute) as 1 liter = 1 cubic decimetre = 1000 cubic centimetre

Answer 4

Conversion: cubic feet per hour x 0.4719 = liters per minute

Answer 5

Using the gas law: PV= NRT you can get this conclusion: P1V1/T2= P2V2/T1

To simplify you can do this operation: (NL/min)/(P+1) = L/min

P: is your Operating Pressure

Answer 6

Cubic feet per minute x 28.32 (or 28.3168466) = liters per minute
