Unit Description

Cubic Foot per Hour (ft³/h)

Definition

Cubic foot per hour (ft³/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in cubic feet passing through a given area per hour. It's used for continuous process measurements and gas flow applications.

History

The ft³/h unit became important in gas distribution and continuous industrial processes in the United States. It provided appropriate scaling for natural gas consumption, continuous air supply systems, and industrial processes where hourly measurements were more practical.

Current Use

Ft³/h is used in natural gas systems, continuous air supply, industrial process control, and gas appliance ratings in the United States. It's found in gas meter readings, industrial gas consumption measurements, and continuous process monitoring applications.

Cubic Foot per Minute (ft³/min)

Definition

Cubic foot per minute (ft³/min or CFM) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in cubic feet passing through a given area per minute. It's one of the most common flow rate units in American HVAC and industrial applications.

History

The CFM unit became standard in American HVAC and industrial applications as it provided convenient numerical values for air handling systems, ventilation, and medium-scale industrial processes. It was particularly important in the development of modern air conditioning and ventilation systems.

Current Use

CFM is extensively used in HVAC systems, air compressors, ventilation design, and industrial air handling. It's standard for air conditioner specifications, fan ratings, compressed air systems, and building ventilation requirements in the United States.
