what is the difference between cfm and scfm
Answers.comÂ® is making the world better one answer at a time. SCFM is the amount (volume) of air that would happen if your air were at room temperature, and atmospheric pressure (0ft above sea level, 14.7psi). CFM (cubic feet per minute) is the amount (volume) of air that happens at the specific temperature and pressure.
CFM, or cubic feet per minute, denotes the unit of compressed airflow for air conditioning units. SCFM stands for standard cubic feet per minute, a measurement that takes into account standard conditions. Cubic feet per minute indicates how much air flows through air conditioning as the machinery pushes air through ducts of a building. An air conditioner produces roughly 400 cubic feet per minute per ton of cooling capacity. Keep Learning.
