Explanation

Formula: Cubic Meters per Hour = Cubic Feet per Minute × 1.699. Why: the route converts both units through liters per second using the exact cubic-foot definition and the matching time-base scaling.

Cubic Feet per Minute (cfm): an imperial volumetric flow unit widely used for airflow, ventilation, and HVAC system sizing.

Cubic Meters per Hour (m³/h): a common engineering flow unit used for plant equipment, air handling, and process system specifications.

This route is useful when translating between SI flow units and gallon- or cubic-foot-based reporting for pumps, piping, ventilation, and plant documentation.

This conversion is purely multiplicative because both units reduce through one liters-per-second flow basis with fixed unit-volume definitions and no offset.
