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.
Volumetric flow rate is defined by the limit [3] = ˙ = =, that is, the flow of volume of fluid V through a surface per unit time t.. Since this is only the time derivative of volume, a scalar quantity, the volumetric flow rate is also a scalar quantity.
Standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) is the molar flow rate of a gas expressed as a volumetric flow at a "standardized" temperature and pressure thus representing a fixed number of moles of gas regardless of composition and actual flow conditions.
Q = Volumetric flow rate of air in cubic feet per minute (cfm) Vol = Space volume L × W × H, in cubic feet; In metric units = where: ACPH = number of air changes per hour; higher values correspond to more ventilation; Q = Volumetric flow rate of air in liters per second (L/s)
is the volumetric flow rate (e.g. CFM, GPM or L/s) is the impeller diameter (e.g. in or mm) is the shaft rotational speed (e.g. rpm) is the total dynamic head developed by the pump (e.g. m or ft) is the shaft power (e.g. W or HP)
Conducting air flow measurements at radionuclide station RN76, Salchaket, USA. 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.
The infiltration rate is the volumetric flow rate of outside air into a building, typically in cubic feet per minute (CFM) or liters per second (LPS). The air exchange rate, (I), is the number of interior volume air changes that occur per hour, and has units of 1/h.
Like any fluid, air may exhibit both laminar and turbulent flow patterns. Laminar flow occurs when air can flow smoothly, and exhibits a parabolic velocity profile; turbulent flow occurs when there is an irregularity (such as a disruption in the surface across which the fluid is flowing), which alters the direction of movement.
