Learn How to Calculate Cubic Feet per Minute - Tutorial

Definition:

Cubic Feet Per Minute (CFM) is a measurement for finding the air volume velocity and it is commonly used for measuring the air flow in heating or cooling diffuses. CFM is also used as a rating and it depends on your room size to ensure adequate ventilation.

Example :

Given,

Feet per Minute = 20 fpm, Area in square feet = 55 ft².

To Find,

Cubic Feet Per Minute

Solution :

Substitute the value of FPM=20 and Area=55 ft² in the formula, CFM= (fpm * area) = 20 * 55 = 1100.
