CFH to CFM Formula:
| From: | To: |
CFH (Cubic Feet per Hour) to CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) conversion is a straightforward unit conversion used to convert volumetric flow rates from hourly to minute basis. This conversion is essential in various engineering and HVAC applications.
The calculator uses the simple conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: Since there are 60 minutes in one hour, dividing the hourly flow rate by 60 gives the equivalent flow rate per minute.
Details: Accurate flow rate conversion is crucial for system design, equipment sizing, performance calculations, and ensuring proper ventilation and fluid handling in various industrial and residential applications.
Tips: Enter the cubic feet per hour (CFH) value in the input field. The value must be positive and greater than zero. The calculator will automatically compute the equivalent CFM value.
Q1: What is the difference between CFH and CFM?
A: CFH measures flow rate in cubic feet per hour, while CFM measures flow rate in cubic feet per minute. CFM is 60 times smaller than CFH for the same actual flow rate.
Q2: When would I need to convert CFH to CFM?
A: This conversion is commonly needed in HVAC system design, gas flow calculations, ventilation requirements, and when working with equipment specifications that use different time units.
Q3: Is the conversion factor always 60?
A: Yes, since there are exactly 60 minutes in one hour, the conversion factor from hourly to minute rates is always 60.
Q4: Can this calculator be used for other flow units?
A: This specific calculator is designed for cubic feet units. For other units like liters or gallons, different conversion factors would be needed.
Q5: How accurate is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically exact. The accuracy of your result depends on the accuracy of your input CFH value.
