What does cubic foot per minute [ft^3/min] measure?

It measures the volumetric flow rate of a fluid, typically air, passing through a reference area each minute and is widely used in HVAC and engineering for airflow quantification.

When should I use liter per hour [L/h] as a unit?

Liter per hour is used to express continuous low-to-moderate liquid flow rates in processes like fuel consumption, chemical dosing, and laboratory fluid handling.

Does this conversion account for temperature or pressure changes?

No, the conversion assumes standard conditions and does not adjust for effects of temperature, pressure, or fluid density variations.
