How to Convert mL/min to CFM
To convert ml/min to cfm, multiply the flow rate by the following conversion ratio: 0.000035315 cfm/milliliters per minute.
Since one milliliters per minute is equal to 0.000035315 cfm, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The flow rate in cfm is equal to the flow rate in ml/min multiplied by 0.000035315.
For example, here's how to convert 5 ml/min to cfm using the formula above.
How Many CFM Are in a Milliliters per Minute?
There are 0.000035315 cfm in a milliliters per minute, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our milliliters per minute to cubic feet per minute calculator automatically converts your flow rate measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
mL/min and cfm are both units used to measure flow rate. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Milliliters per Minute?
A milliliters per minute is a unit of flow rate equal to 1/1,000 of a liters per minute (0.001 L/min). Equal to 0.001 L/min (1 cm³/min). [1]
The milliliters per minute is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of flow rate. mL/min can be abbreviated as mL/min; for example, 1 milliliters per minute can be written as 1 mL/min.
In the metric system, "milli" is the standard SI prefix for thousandths, or 10⁻³. This makes the milliliters per minute (mL/min) a convenient decimal multiple of the liters per minute (L/min).
In practice, ml/min (mL/min) are widely used across fine-tolerance laboratory, analytical, and micro-scale flow rate measurements within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is a Cubic Feet per Minute?
A cubic feet per minute is a unit of flow rate equal to 28.3168466 liters per minute (L/min), the base unit for flow rate. HVAC & air compressor airflow unit (28.3168 L/min). [2]
The cubic feet per minute is classified as a US customary unit of flow rate. CFM can be abbreviated as CFM; for example, 1 cubic feet per minute can be written as 1 CFM.
When working with cfm (CFM) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, cfm (CFM) are widely used across standard flow rate applications within US customary workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting flow rate between ml/min (mL/min) and cfm (CFM), keep full floating-point precision (1 mL/min = 0.000035315 CFM; 1 CFM = 28,316.846592 mL/min) during intermediate calculations and round only the final cubic feet per minute figure to match your instrument tolerance.
