This calculator determines the flow rate equivalence between liters per second (L/s) and billion cubic feet per minute (BCF/min). The relationship is: 1 BCF/min = 471,947,450 L/s. Here, "BCF" represents 1 billion cubic feet (1,000,000,000 ft³), a large volume unit converted to liters and divided by 60 seconds per minute.
For example, a flow rate of 471,947,450 L/s equals 1 BCF/min, and a flow rate of 1 L/s equals approximately 2.11888 × 10⁻⁹ BCF/min.
Formulas:
L/s to BCF/min: \( \text{BCF/min} = \frac{\text{L/s}}{471947450} \)
BCF/min to L/s: \( \text{L/s} = \text{BCF/min} \times 471947450 \)
Example Calculation:
Use the form above to input a flow rate and select the unit (L/s or BCF/min) to calculate the equivalent value in the other unit.
The following table provides examples of calculated values between L/s and BCF/min:
| L/s | BCF/min |
|---|---|
| 471947450 | 1 |
| 1 | 0.0000000021 |
| 235973725 | 0.5 |
| 117986862.5 | 0.25 |
The calculator uses the following units:
Results are provided in both units after calculation.
How do you calculate L/s from billion cubic feet/minute?
To calculate L/s from BCF/min, multiply the value in BCF/min by 471,947,450. For example, 0.5 BCF/min × 471,947,450 = 235,973,725 L/s.
How do you calculate billion cubic feet/minute from L/s?
To calculate BCF/min from L/s, divide the value in L/s by 471,947,450. For example, 117,986,862.5 L/s ÷ 471,947,450 ≈ 0.25 BCF/min.
What is the flow rate of 100,000,000 L/s in billion cubic feet/minute?
For 100,000,000 L/s: \( \text{BCF/min} = \frac{100000000}{471947450} \approx 0.2119 \, \text{BCF/min} \).
