1 cubic foot/hour = 0.471 947 449 99 liter/minute

so you can use .48, (or even just half (0.5) is probably close enough to get a handle on it.
therefore: 20CF/H = 10 CF/M

There's a good online conversion tool here

For ballpark figures, divide CFH by 2 and take off 1 for L/Min. (2.12 being the correct factor)

And again, divide IPM by 40 for M/Min in wire feed. (39.37 being the real number)
