Convert Cubic feet per minute to Kilolitres per hour
Convert Cubic feet per minute (ft³/min) to Kilolitres per hour (kL/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kL/h = ft³/min × 1.699010796
About Cubic feet per minute
The cubic foot per minute (cfm or ft³/min) equals 0.028316846592/60 ≈ 4.719×10⁻⁴ m³/s, the dominant unit for ventilation, HVAC airflow, and compressed-air system design in the US. ASHRAE ventilation standards, building-code fresh-air requirements, and dust-collector capacity are all stated in cfm. A residential HVAC system moves 800-1 200 cfm; an industrial dust collector handles 2 000-20 000 cfm. 1 cfm ≈ 0.4719 L/s.
About Kilolitres per hour
The kilolitre per hour (kL/h) equals 1/3600 m³/s ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁴ m³/s, identical to m³/h. It is used interchangeably with m³/h in Australian, New Zealand, and South African process-engineering practice. Pump datasheets from these markets quote capacity in kL/h; water-meter billing in rural areas uses kL/h for irrigation allocation. 1 kL/h = 1 m³/h = 1 000 L/h.
