cfm/in² to l/s/dm² and l/s/dm² to cfm/in² Calculator

How to Calculate Between cfm/in² and l/s/dm²

The cfm/in² to l/s/dm² and l/s/dm² to cfm/in² Calculator converts between cubic feet per minute per square inch (cfm/in²) and liters per second per square decimeter (l/s/dm²) for air velocity measurements. The formulas are:


\( l/s/dm^2 = cfm/in^2 \times 7.315 \)
\( cfm/in^2 = \frac{l/s/dm^2}{7.315} \)

Where:

  • \( cfm/in^2 \): Cubic feet per minute per square inch, a unit of air velocity.
  • \( l/s/dm^2 \): Liters per second per square decimeter, a unit of air velocity.

Select the conversion direction, enter the input value, and calculate the result.

Note: The conversion factor 7.315 is derived from 1 cfm = 0.47194745 l/s and 1 in² ≈ 0.064516 dm².

Using the cfm/in² and l/s/dm² Mutual Conversion Calculator

This calculator is useful for HVAC design, ventilation rates, and air flow analysis, supporting bidirectional conversions between imperial and metric units.

Select the direction (cfm/in² to l/s/dm² or l/s/dm² to cfm/in²), input the value. The calculator outputs the converted value.

Example 1: For a value of 1 cfm/in² to l/s/dm².


  1. Direction: cfm/in² to l/s/dm²
  2. Input: \( 1 \)
  3. Calculation: \( l/s/dm^2 = 1 \times 7.315 = 7.315 \)
  4. Result: \( 7.315 \, \text{l/s/dm²} \)

Example 2: For a value of 7.315 l/s/dm² to cfm/in².


  1. Direction: l/s/dm² to cfm/in²
  2. Input: \( 7.315 \)
  3. Calculation: \( cfm/in^2 = 7.315 / 7.315 = 1 \)
  4. Result: \( 1.000 \, \text{cfm/in²} \)

Use this tool for quick bidirectional conversions in engineering or environmental applications.
