Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic foot per minute measure?
-
It measures the volume of fluid, typically air, passing a point each minute, used for quantifying airflow in engineering and HVAC.
-
When should I use hundred-cubic foot per hour units?
-
Use this unit to express low to moderate gas flow rates, particularly in utility measurement and small gas supply applications.
-
What is the conversion rate from cubic foot per minute to hundred-cubic foot per hour?
-
One cubic foot per minute equals 0.6 hundred-cubic foot per hour.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic foot per minute [ft³/min]
-
A measure of volumetric flow rate indicating how many cubic feet of fluid pass a point each minute, commonly used in HVAC and engineering.
-
Hundred-cubic foot per hour
-
A flow rate unit representing 100 cubic feet passing a point hourly, used for low to moderate gas flow measurement and utility reporting.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The quantity of fluid volume passing through a given cross-section per unit time.
