CFM to m³/h factor?

[DanishGuy]

I'm from Denmark, Europe, so the term CFM is an odd size for me. Cubic-Feet-per-Minute?

In Europe, as you probably know, we use the metric system.

So can anyone tell me the factor between CFM & m³/h?

/3 for a rough estimate

Looks like 1 CFM = 1.70 cubic meters per hour.

i thought a cubic foot was a square 2.3"x2.3"x2.3"
its supposed to be according to my math book

 

[enginjon]

ft^3/min * 60min/hr * (12 in/ft)^3 * (2.54cm/in)^3 * (m/100cm)^3 = 1.699 m^3/hr

Therfore: 1 cfm = 1.699 m^3/hr
or
1 m^3hr = 0.588 cfm


BTW, I think I need to get a life, you got me doing math problems.
