Formula / Method
Flow(to) = Flow(from) × SI factor(from) ÷ SI factor(to)Engineering Method & Assumptions
- Volumetric flow only.
- International foot definition is used.
Applicability: Conversion does not correct airflow for density, temperature, pressure, altitude, or standard/actual conditions.
Useful during airside & ventilation work.
- Quick-check airflow, velocity, room-air-change or ventilation relationships during design reviews.
- Compare alternate design conditions before moving into detailed equipment or duct selection.
- Use as a transparent check alongside project criteria, applicable standards and manufacturer data.
Frequently asked questions
Are CFM and CMH volumetric units?
Yes. CFM and m³/h describe volume per unit time.
Does conversion correct for air density?
No. This is a dimensional volumetric-flow conversion.
Is precision retained?
Yes. The engine retains precision and rounds only the display.
