1. What is CFH?

CFH (Cubic Feet per Hour) is a unit of volumetric flow rate that measures the volume of air or gas that passes through a given point in one hour.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the conversion formula:

Where:

• \( CFM \) — Cubic Feet per Minute (ft³/min)
• 60 — Conversion factor (minutes to hours)

Explanation: Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, multiplying CFM by 60 converts the flow rate to CFH.

3. Importance of CFH Calculation

Details: CFH is commonly used in HVAC systems, industrial processes, and gas flow measurements where hourly flow rates are more practical than minute-by-minute measurements.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the CFM value in cubic feet per minute. The value must be greater than zero.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the difference between CFM and CFH?
A: CFM measures flow per minute while CFH measures flow per hour. CFH is simply CFM multiplied by 60.

Q2: When would I use CFH instead of CFM?
A: CFH is often used for total consumption calculations over longer periods, while CFM is used for instantaneous flow rates.

Q3: Can this calculator be used for any gas?
A: Yes, as long as the flow rate is measured in cubic feet per minute, the conversion to cubic feet per hour is the same.

Q4: How precise is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically exact since it's based on time unit conversion (60 minutes = 1 hour).

Q5: What if I need to convert to other units?
A: You would need additional conversion factors for other units like liters per hour or cubic meters per hour.
