How to Convert Cubic Centimeter per Second per Square Centimeter to Foot per Minute
- 1 cm³/(s·cm²) = 1.968503937 ft/min
- 1 ft/min = 0.508 cm³/(s·cm²)
- Example: convert 15 cm³/(s·cm²) to ft/min: 15 cm³/(s·cm²) = 15 × 1.968503937 ft/min = 29.52755906 ft/min
Formula
ft/min = cm³/(s·cm²) × 1.968503937008
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 cm³/(s·cm²) = 10⁻⁶ m³ ÷ (10⁻⁴ m² × 1 s) = 0.01 m/s = 1 cm/s
- 1 ft/min = 0.3048 m ÷ 60 s = 0.00508 m/s
- 1 cm³/(s·cm²) = 0.01 m/s ÷ 0.00508 m/s per ft/min = 1.968503937008 ft/min
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Cubic Centimeter per Second per Square Centimeter definition: cubic centimeter per second per square centimeter; Foot per Minute definition: foot per minute.
Worked examples
- A reading of 5 cm³/(s·cm²) converts to 9.842519685 ft/min.
5 cm³/(s·cm²) × 1.968503937 = 9.842519685 ft/min - A value of 25 cm³/(s·cm²) is 49.21259843 ft/min.
25 cm³/(s·cm²) × 1.968503937 = 49.21259843 ft/min

Where it's used
Cubic Centimeters per Second per Square Centimeter are used for ASTM D737 fabric air permeability (SI reporting), while feet per minute appear in fume hood face velocity (commonly 80–120 fpm). Both measure face velocity and air permeability (volumetric flow per unit area), so the conversion is a fixed factor.

Frequently asked questions
How many feet per minute are in 1 cubic centimeter per second per square centimeter?
1 cm³/(s·cm²) = 1.968503937 ft/min.
How do I convert cubic centimeters per second per square centimeter to feet per minute?
Multiply the value in cm³/(s·cm²) by 1.968503937. For example, 15 cm³/(s·cm²) × 1.968503937 = 29.52755906 ft/min.
Is the cm³/(s·cm²) to ft/min conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly, so the ratio is exact; its decimal form does not terminate and is shown here to 10 significant figures (more with the precision selector).
