Cubic feet per minute to Cubic feet per hour conversion

How to convert cubic feet per minute to cubic feet per hour?

To convert cubic feet per minute (CFM) to cubic feet per hour (CFH), you need to multiply the value in CFM by the number of minutes in an hour. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, the conversion is straightforward:

$\text{Cubic feet per hour (CFH)} = \text{Cubic feet per minute (CFM)} \times 60$

So for 1 CFM: $1 \, \text{CFM} \times 60 = 60 \, \text{CFH}$

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities of CFM

1. 5 CFM to CFH: $5 \, \text{CFM} \times 60 = 300 \, \text{CFH}$

   Example: A small bathroom exhaust fan might have an airflow rate of around 5 CFM.

2. 10 CFM to CFH: $10 \, \text{CFM} \times 60 = 600 \, \text{CFH}$

   Example: A standard kitchen range hood could have an airflow rate of approximately 10 CFM.

3. 50 CFM to CFH: $50 \, \text{CFM} \times 60 = 3000 \, \text{CFH}$

   Example: A larger bathroom exhaust fan or a small central air handler might operate at 50 CFM.

4. 100 CFM to CFH: $100 \, \text{CFM} \times 60 = 6000 \, \text{CFH}$

   Example: An industrial dehumidifier or a residential HVAC system might have an airflow rate of around 100 CFM.

5. 500 CFM to CFH: $500 \, \text{CFM} \times 60 = 30000 \, \text{CFH}$

   Example: A large commercial ventilation system in a warehouse or manufacturing facility could operate at 500 CFM.

Understanding these conversions and real-world examples can help you in designing HVAC systems, evaluating ventilation requirements, or simply comparing the efficiency of various airflow equipment.
