2. Airflow - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airflow

   A more complex device that can not only regulate the airflow but also has the ability to generate and condition airflow is an air handler. Fans also generate flows by "producing air flows with high volume and low pressure (although higher than ambient pressure)." This pressure differential induced by the fan is what causes air to flow.

3. Actual cubic feet per minute - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actual_cubic_feet_per_minute

   Actual cubic feet per minute (ACFM) is a unit of volumetric flow. It is commonly used by manufacturers of blowers and compressors. [1] This is the actual gas delivery with reference to inlet conditions, whereas cubic foot per minute (CFM) is an unqualified term and should only be used in general and never accepted as a specific definition without explanation.

4. Standard cubic feet per minute - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_cubic_feet_per_minute

   For example, a mass flow rate of 1,000 kg/h of air at 1 atmosphere of absolute pressure is 455 SCFM when defined at 32 °F (0 °C) but 481 SCFM when defined at 60 °F (16 °C). Due to the variability of the definition and the consequences of ambiguity, it is best engineering practice to state what standard conditions are used when communicating ...

5. Air flow meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_flow_meter

   An air flow meter is a device similar to an anemometer that measures air flow, i.e. how much air is flowing through a tube. It does not measure the volume of the air passing through the tube, it measures the mass of air flowing through the device per unit time, though Thus air flow meters are simply an application of mass flow meters for the ...

6. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

   References will be made to "actual" flow rate through a meter and "standard" or "base" flow rate through a meter with units such as acm/h (actual cubic meters per hour), sm 3 /sec (standard cubic meters per second), kscm/h (thousand standard cubic meters per hour), LFM (linear feet per minute), or MMSCFD (million standard cubic feet per day).

7. Blower door - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blower_door

   Single fan blower door system. A blower door is a machine used to perform a building air leakage test. It can also be used to measure airflow between building zones, to test ductwork airtightness and to help physically locate air leakage sites in the building envelope.

8. High-volume low-speed fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-volume_low-speed_fan

   The air column from a 3-foot-diameter (0.91 m) fan, therefore, has more than six times as much friction interface per volume of air moved as does the air column from a 20-foot-diameter (6.1 m) fan. [8] When the down column of air from an HVLS fan reaches the floor, the air turns in the horizontal direction away from the column in all directions.

9. Centrifugal fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_fan

   Ratings found in centrifugal fan performance tables and curves are based on standard air SCFM. Fan manufacturers define standard air as clean, dry air with a density of 0.075 pounds mass per cubic foot (1.2 kg/m 3), with the barometric pressure at sea level of 29.92 inches of mercury (101.325 kPa) and a temperature of 70 °F (21
