SCFM to CFM Calculator
Need to convert SCFM to CFM? This calculator can help. By entering specific parameters, you can easily find the CFM from SCFM.
What is SCFM to CFM?
SCFM stands for Standard Cubic Feet per Minute, a measure of airflow standardized to specific temperature and pressure. CFM, or Cubic Feet per Minute, is the actual airflow at operating conditions. Converting SCFM to CFM adjusts for real-world conditions like temperature and pressure.

Calculation Examples
Example 1
Input:
- SCFM = 150,
- Temp = 72°F,
- Actual Pressure = 14.4 psi,
- Barometric Pressure = 14.7 psi,
- Relative Humidity = 0.36
Calculation:
1 . Convert temperatures to Rankine (°F + 460):
2. Using standard values:
3. Calculate vapor pressure at actual temp (
)
4. Calculate CFM:
5. Result: 152.3 CFM
Example 2
Input:
- SCFM = 200,
- Temp = 80°F,
- Actual Pressure = 15 psi,
- Barometric Pressure = 14.7 psi,
- Relative Humidity = 0.4
Calculation:
Convert temperatures to Rankine (°F + 460):
2. Using standard values:
3. Calculate vapor pressure at actual temp (
4. Calculate CFM:
5. Result: 204.7 CFM
