Convert Cubic foot per second to Gallon (fluid, US) per minute (cfs to gpm)
To achieve the desired result as quickly as possible, it is best to enter the value to be converted as text, for example '833 cfs to gpm' or '833 cfs into gpm' or simply '833 cfs':
- In most cases, the word 'to' (or '=' / '->') can be omitted between the names of the two units, for example '833 cfs gpm' instead of '833 cfs to gpm'.
- In the abbreviations for 'square' and 'cubic', the '^' character can be omitted from '^2' and '^3'. Square centimetres can therefore be written cm2 instead of cm^2.
- Instead of the Greek letter 'µ' (= micro), a simple 'u' can be used, for example uPa instead of µPa.
- Instead of 1.49 x 10^5, 1.49e5 can be written. The 'e' stands for 'exponent'.
- The basic operations of arithmetic: pi (π), addition (+), brackets, exponent (^), division (/, :, ÷), subtraction (-), square root (√) and multiplication (*, x) are all permitted at this point
or: Using the calculator with the selection lists
- Choose the right category from the selection list, in this case 'Volumetric flow rate'.
- Next enter the value you want to convert.
- From the selection list, choose the unit that corresponds to the value you want to convert, in this case 'Cubic foot per second [cfs]'.
- Finally choose the unit you want the value to be converted to, in this case 'Gallon (fluid, US) per minute [gpm]'.
- Then, when the result appears, there is still the possibility of rounding it to a specific number of decimal places, whenever it makes sense to do so.
Use the full power of this unit converter to convert cfs to gpm
With this calculator, it is possible to enter the value to be converted together with the original measurement unit; for example, '821 Cubic foot per second'. In so doing, either the full name of the unit or its abbreviation can be usedas an example, either 'Cubic foot per second' or 'cfs'. Then, the calculator determines the category of the measurement unit of measure that is to be converted, in this case 'Volumetric flow rate'. After that, it converts the entered value into all of the appropriate units known to it. In the resulting list, you will be sure also to find the conversion you originally sought. Alternatively, the value to be converted can be entered as follows: '47 cfs to gpm' or '63 cfs into gpm' or '70 Cubic foot per second -> Gallon fluid, US per minute' or '93 cfs = gpm' or '17 Cubic foot per second to gpm' or '40 cfs to Gallon fluid, US per minute' or '86 Cubic foot per second into Gallon fluid, US per minute'. For this alternative, the calculator also figures out immediately into which unit the original value is specifically to be converted. Regardless which of these possibilities one uses, it saves one the cumbersome search for the appropriate listing in long selection lists with myriad categories and countless supported units. All of that is taken over for us by the calculator and it gets the job done in a fraction of a second.

The mathematical functions sin, sqrt, cos and tan can also be used. Example: tan(90°), sin(π/2), sin(90), cos(pi/2) or sqrt(4).

Furthermore, the calculator makes it possible to use mathematical expressions. As a result, not only can numbers be reckoned with one another, such as, for example, '3 * 26 cfs'. But different units of measurement can also be coupled with one another directly in the conversion. That could, for example, look like this: '56 Cubic foot per second + 79 Gallon fluid, US per minute' or '49mm x 72cm x 95dm = ? cm^3'. The units of measure combined in this way naturally have to fit together and make sense in the combination in question.

If a check mark has been placed next to 'Numbers in scientific notation', the answer will appear as an exponential. For example, 4.659 199 957 601 3×1021. For this form of presentation, the number will be segmented into an exponent, here 21, and the actual number, here 4.659 199 957 601 3. For devices on which the possibilities for displaying numbers are limited, such as for example, pocket calculators, one also finds the way of writing numbers as 4.659 199 957 601 3E+21. In particular, this makes very large and very small numbers easier to read. If a check mark has not been placed at this spot, then the result is given in the customary way of writing numbers. For the above example, it would then look like this: 4 659 199 957 601 300 000 000. Independent of the presentation of the results, the maximum precision of this calculator is 14 places. That should be precise enough for most applications.
