Cubic Foot per Second to Cubic Centimeter per Second (CFS to cm³/s)
Convert CFS to cm³/s — Flow Rate converter
Also written as CFS to cm3/s.
One cubic foot per second equals 28316.85 cm³/s, so to convert cubic feet per second to cubic centimeters per second you multiply the value by 28316.85. A cubic foot per second is larger than a cubic centimeter per second — going the other way, 1 cm³/s = 0.0000353147 CFS. For example, 10 CFS = 283168.47 cm³/s and 50 CFS = 1415842.33 cm³/s.
1 CFS = 28316.85 cm³/s

Which gallon, and which trade
The single most expensive mistake in flow conversion is the gallon. A US liquid gallon is 3.785411784 litres; an imperial gallon is 4.54609 litres. US GPM and imperial GPM differ by about 20%, and pump datasheets frequently do not say which one they mean. Check the manufacturer's country of origin before trusting a GPM figure.
Different trades default to different units for the same physical quantity: HVAC and compressed air work in CFM, plumbing and pumps in GPM or LPM, and process and water engineering in m³/h or L/s. A specification that mixes them is usually quoting different equipment, not different flows. On this page, 1 CFS = 28316.85 cm³/s.
