To calculate, input either the CFM (cubic feet per minute) or Tons value, and the calculator determines the missing variable using the relationship between airflow and cooling capacity.
The CFM to Tons Calculator is a tool designed to simplify the process of determining the airflow (CFM) required for a specific cooling capacity (in Tons), or vice versa.
This calculation is crucial in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems to ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency.
By providing one value—either CFM or Tons—the tool instantly computes the other, eliminating the need for manual calculations.

CFM to Tons
| Variable | Description | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| CFM | Airflow rate | Cubic feet per minute (CFM) |
| Tons | Cooling capacity | Tons (refrigeration) |
Solved Calculations
Example 1: Calculate Tons from CFM
| Step | Value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Given CFM | 1600 | Input value |
| Formula | Tons = CFM ÷ 400 | Substitute the value |
| Calculation | 1600 ÷ 400 | Perform the division |
| Result | 4 Tons | Final output |
Example 2: Calculate CFM from Tons
| Step | Value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Given Tons | 3 | Input value |
| Formula | CFM = Tons × 400 | Substitute the value |
| Calculation | 3 × 400 | Perform the multiplication |
| Result | 1200 CFM | Final output |
