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 Litres per minute
The litre per minute (L/min) equals 10⁻³/60 ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁵ m³/s, one of the most common flow units in consumer and light-industrial applications. Household washing machines use 10-15 L/min; oxygen concentrators deliver 1-10 L/min to patients; a standard garden sprinkler head discharges 15-30 L/min. 1 L/min ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁵ m³/s ≈ 0.2642 US gal/min.
