Question 1

How do you convert CFM to liters per second?

Accepted Answer

Multiply CFM by 0.4719. Example: 100 CFM = 47.19 L/s.

Question 2

What is CFM used for?

Accepted Answer

HVAC systems, industrial ventilation, compressed air systems, and fan/blower specifications.

Question 3

How does pipe diameter affect flow rate?

Accepted Answer

Flow rate is proportional to the square of diameter. Doubling pipe diameter quadruples potential flow rate at the same pressure.

Question 4

What's the difference between volume and mass flow rate?

Accepted Answer

Volume flow (gallons/min) ignores fluid density. Mass flow (kg/s) accounts for density, important when density changes with temperature or pressure.
