Frequently asked questions

Why do some fans use m3/h and others CFM?

CFM is standard in North America; m3/h and L/s are more common in European and Asian datasheets.

Is this the same conversion for larger HVAC fans?

Yes, the CFM to m3/h conversion factor is the same regardless of fan size.

What do I need to enter into the PC Fan CFM to m3/h Calculator?

Just 1 value: fan cfm rating. Every field starts with a realistic example, so you can change one number at a time and watch the result update instantly.

How does the PC Fan CFM to m3/h Calculator work out the answer?

Cubic meters per hour equals CFM multiplied by 1.699. It applies the formula m3/h = CFM x 1.699 and shows the working so you can check each step by hand.
