Air - SCFM versus ACFM and ICFM Actual air compressor capacity (ACFM) vs. standard air capacity (SCFM) and inlet air capacity (ICFM). SCFM - Standard Cubic Feet per Minute It is common to rate compressed air consumption in Standard Cubic Feet per Minute - SCFM. The SCFM - Standard...
When the capacity of a heating or cooling unit is expressed in SCFM, these are the conditions the value assumes. Converting from SCFM to ACFM and back The ideal gas law, pV = nRT, gives us the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature of an ideal gas, where n is the numbe...
SCFM and ACFM both have units of volume per unit time. Ordinarily in physics, volumes are measured in cubic meters (m3) or some variation thereof, such as cubic centimeters (cm3, equivalent to milliliters or mL) and time is in seconds. In this case, both the volume (ft3) and time (...
