Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic meter per minute measure?
-
It measures the volume of fluid passing a point every minute, commonly used to specify airflow, water flow, and other fluid flows.
-
Why convert cubic meter per minute to liter per second?
-
To express volumetric flows with finer time resolution, such as converting minute-based measurements to second-based ones for more precise control.
-
In which fields is this conversion commonly applied?
-
It is commonly applied in HVAC design, water and wastewater engineering, laboratory dosing, industrial fluid handling, and air quality management.
