cubic foot per minute: Cfm is a volume rate, so the mass of air it represents changes with pressure, temperature and altitude. A compressor rated in scfm has been corrected to a standard reference condition, while acfm is the actual volume at the inlet, and the two differ substantially at altitude or on a hot day. There is also more than one standard condition in circulation: 68 degrees Fahrenheit at 14.696 psia is common in the compressed air trade and 70 degrees Fahrenheit in some HVAC standards. Mass flow in pounds per hour does not have this ambiguity. Full definition →
Multiply by 0.4719474432 to go from cubic foot per minute to liter per second, or divide by it to go back. Every conversion on this site routes through the SI value (m³/s) rather than a table of pairwise factors, so a round-trip returns exactly what you started with.
