FAQ

How do you convert CFM to CMH?

Multiply CFM by 1.699. One cubic foot per minute equals 1.699 cubic metres per hour, so 1,000 CFM = 1,699 m³/h (CMH).

How do you convert CMH to CFM?

Multiply CMH by 0.5886, or divide by 1.699. For example, 1,000 m³/h = 588.6 CFM.

How many L/s is 1 CFM?

1 CFM = 0.4719 L/s, so 1,000 CFM = 471.9 L/s. In the other direction, 1 L/s = 2.119 CFM.

How do you convert L/s to m³/h?

Multiply L/s by 3.6. For example, 100 L/s = 360 m³/h.

What is the difference between CMH and m³/h?

There is none. CMH stands for cubic metres per hour, the same unit as m³/h. It is common on HVAC equipment schedules in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
