Convert Sccm To Scfh FAQ

What is scfm compared to cfm in an air compressor?

CFM values are taken under the pressure of 90psi, whereas to calculate scfm, the air is expanded to a standard condition around 14.7 psia. CFM is more relevant to the internal capacity of an air compressor, while SCFM is more indicative of how the gas which is pressurized to a standard value will perform at the end point applications.

What is scfm vs cfm?

A volumetric flow rate with units of CFM implies that the flow rate was measured at actual conditions (actual pressure, actual temperature). The distinction between SCFM and CFM is important because air density changes with pressure and temperature.

What does scfm mean for air compressors?

SCFM, an acronym that stands for standard cubic feet per minute, is a specification that indicates the volume of air an air compressor can provide at a certain pressure. According to The Air Compressor Exchange of Perrysburg, Ohio, the amount of air taken into a compressor from the outside is indicated by CFM, or cubic feet per minute.
