Cubic Foot per Minute to Liter per Hour Converter

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.

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.

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.

Liter per hour (L/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in liters passing through a given area per hour. It's commonly used for slow, continuous processes and precision flow measurements.

The L/h unit became important in applications requiring precise, slow flow measurements such as medical infusions, chemical dosing, and precision manufacturing processes. It provided appropriate numerical values for applications where faster flow units would result in small decimal numbers.

L/h is used in medical infusion systems, chemical dosing equipment, precision manufacturing, and slow continuous processes. It's standard for IV pump settings, chemical feed systems, precision dispensing equipment, and laboratory analytical instruments.
