What does liter per minute measure?

Liter per minute (L/min) measures the volumetric flow rate indicating the volume of fluid or gas passing a point every minute.

Where is cubic foot per hour commonly used?

Cubic foot per hour (ft³/h) is commonly employed to quantify ventilation rates, natural gas pipeline flows, and pump sizing in industrial and HVAC applications.

Do I need to adjust for temperature when converting between these units?

Yes, temperature and pressure can affect gas volumes, so adjustments may be necessary for precise conversions, especially for gases.
