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.
Example: How many standard cubic feet are in 1 cubic foot of gas at 80 °F and gauge pressure 50 psi? (assuming that there is 13.6 psi atmospheric pressure and ignoring super compressibility) V s = 1 cu ft × [(13.6 psi + 50 psi) / 14.73 psi] × [(60 °F + 459.67 °F) / (80 °F + 459.67 °F)]
Actual cubic foot per minute (ACFM) is the volume of gas flowing anywhere in a system, taking into account its temperature and pressure. If the system were moving a gas at exactly the "standard" condition, then ACFM would equal SCFM. This usually is not the case as the most important change between these two definitions is the pressure.
Oil conversion factor from m³ to bbl (or stb) is 6.28981100 Gas conversion factor from standard m³ to scf is 35.314666721 Note that the m³ gas conversion factor takes into account a difference in the standard temperature base for measurement of gas volumes in metric and imperial units.
Compressor characteristic is a mathematical curve that shows the behaviour of a fluid going through a dynamic compressor.It shows changes in fluid pressure, temperature, entropy, flow rate etc.) with the compressor operating at different speeds.
A normal cubic meter (Nm 3) is the metric expression of gas volume at standard conditions and it is usually (but not always) defined as being measured at 0 °C and 1 atmosphere of pressure. A standard cubic foot (scf) is the USA expression of gas volume at standard conditions and it is often (but not always) defined as being measured at 60 °F ...
Uses of pneumatic pressure switches include: Switch a household well water pump automatically when water is drawn from the pressure tank. Switching off an electrically driven gas compressor when a set pressure is achieved in the reservoir; Switching off a gas compressor, whenever there is no feed in the suction stage. in-cell charge control in ...
With C v = 1.0 and 200 psia inlet pressure, the flow is 100 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm). The flow is proportional to the absolute inlet pressure, so the flow in scfm would equal the C v flow coefficient if the inlet pressure were reduced to 2 psia and the outlet were connected to a vacuum with less than 1 psi absolute pressure (1.0 ...
