QUICK REFERENCE

Conversion factors

The converter uses the standard relationship between CFM and cubic metres per hour.

1 CFM ≈ 1.699 m³/h

100 CFM ≈ 169.9 m³/h

500 CFM ≈ 849.5 m³/h

1,000 CFM ≈ 1,699 m³/h

TECHNICAL REFERENCE

Simple conversion. Clear engineering reference.

The conversion is based on the standard relationship between cubic feet per minute and cubic metres per hour.

CFM → m³/h

m³/h = CFM × 1.699

Multiply the airflow value in CFM by approximately 1.699 to obtain cubic metres per hour.

m³/h → CFM

CFM = m³/h ÷ 1.699

Divide the airflow value in m³/h by approximately 1.699 to obtain CFM.
