Hi,
I have been doing some reading to understand the relationship between SCFM (Standard Cubic Feet Per Minute) and ACFM (Actual Cubic Feet Per Minute). I understand that for a given SCFM, as you raise your temperature, the ACFM will be higher because gasses expand at higher temperatures.
Both of these values (SCFM and ACFM) are indications of the volume of air that is being moved.
Sometimes, I am presented with air flow data in terms of velocity (in feet per minute). When I am presented with velocity data like this, is there a distinction between whether it is "actual" feet per minute or "standard" feet per minute? Or does velocity data like this have the same meaning regardless of whether it is measured at actual conditions or converted to standard conditions?
Thanks in advance,
Paul
