Unit Description

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.

Barrel per Day (bbl/d)

Definition

Barrel per day (bbl/d) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in barrels passing through a given area per day. One barrel equals 42 US gallons, making this unit standard in the petroleum industry.

History

The bbl/d unit was developed specifically for the petroleum industry to measure oil production, refinery throughput, and pipeline capacity. It became the global standard for oil industry measurements, providing appropriate scaling for oil wells, refineries, and international oil trade.

Current Use

Bbl/d is universally used in the petroleum industry for measuring oil production rates, refinery capacity, pipeline throughput, and oil consumption. It's standard for oil well production reports, refinery specifications, international oil trade statistics, and petroleum industry analysis.
