Cubic Foot per Minute to Liter per Minute 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 minute (L/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in liters passing through a given area per minute. It provides a practical scale for many everyday and industrial flow measurements.

The L/min unit became widely adopted in various industries as it provided convenient numerical values for many common applications. It was particularly useful in automotive, medical, and laboratory applications where flow rates were moderate and minute-based measurements were practical.

L/min is extensively used in automotive fuel systems, medical equipment (IV drips, oxygen flow), laboratory instruments, and small to medium pumping systems. It's standard for fuel injection rates, medical flow meters, laboratory pumps, and aquarium filtration systems.
