CFM to Cubic Meter per Hour (m³/h) Calculator

Our CFM to m³/h converter is helpful for engineers to quickly convert airflow values from Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) to Cubic Meters per Hour (m³/h).

CFM to m³/h Conversion Explained

CFM and m³/h are two ways to measure airflow. In the U.S., people use Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM), and in Europe and other places, they use Cubic Meters per Hour (m³/h). To convert CFM to m3/h the simple rulr is:  1 CFM = 1.69901 m3/h.

$$1 CFM = 1.69901 m³/h$$

According to the conversion factor, every cubic foot of air moving per minute, 1.69901 cubic meters of air move per hour.

How To Convert CFM To M3/h

Why one need to convert between these values? See following example:

Example

Foe example, A big fan in a factory that moves the air. If the fan moves 500 CFM, that means it pushes 500 cubic feet of air every minute. But if we want to measure it in cubic meters per hour, we need to convert it using this simple rule:

Know that, 1 CFM equals 1.69901 m³/h, multiply it by 500 gives result:

$$500 \times 1.69901 = 849.505$$

So, the fan circulates 849.505 m³/h of air in the workspace. This helps help engineers to design ventilation systems for proper airflow, and also to maintain air quality.

Conversion Steps

To convert 500 CFM to m³/h, follow these steps:

1. First of all know the conversion formula:

   $$m³/h = CFM \times 1.69901$$

2. Secondly, substitute the given value (500 CFM):

   $$m³/h = 500 \times 1.69901$$

3. Multiply it and get the result:

   $$m³/h = 849.505$$

Result: 500 CFM = 849.505 m³/h.

💡 Always Remember:

• Always multiply CFM by 1.69901 to convert to m³/h.
• Divide m³/h by 1.69901 to get CFM value,
