m³/hr to CFM Converter – Airflow Unit Calculator for HVAC

This m³/hr to CFM converter helps HVAC engineers, designers, and students convert airflow from cubic meters per hour (m³/hr) to cubic feet per minute (CFM). It is useful for duct sizing, ventilation design, and HVAC system calculations.


m³/hr to CFM Calculator





Conversion Formula

The standard HVAC airflow conversion formula is:

CFM = m³/hr × 0.5886

This formula is derived from the relationship between cubic meters and cubic feet and is widely used in HVAC engineering practice.


Example Calculation

  • Airflow = 1700 m³/hr
  • CFM = 1700 × 0.5886
  • Result = 1000.62 CFM

Where This Calculator Is Used

  • HVAC duct sizing calculations
  • Ventilation and fresh air design
  • AHU and FCU airflow selection
  • MEP and HVAC engineering projects
